    I speak latin. It doesn't help in medicine. While some words are accurate, many words are quite literally made up, are used wrongly, are derived from concepts/ancient culture/mythology so the language alone wouldnt help, are derived from other derived words, are half latin half greek. This video explains it well ▶ link It would definitely help to learn the etymology of the words
