This word isn't really an adjective. It appears sometimes as an adjectival noun, e.g. travel agent, travel plans. Ortonmc 21:13, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Dutch translation incorrect

Doublet

@Nicodene: You wrote “Not in fact a doublet” re travail but did not provide your reasoning; both are listed under Old French travailler. J3133 (talk) 03:21, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

@J3133 Two different deverbals in two different languages: travel (noun) < travel (verb), within English. Travail < Old French travail < travaillier, within French. Nicodene (talk) 04:03, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

@Nicodene: In that case, shouldn’t the etymology and descendant sections be fixed? However, you removed the doublet from Etymology 1, i.e., the verb, not the deverbal. J3133 (talk) 04:10, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

I've looked into it a bit more and am no longer sure. Carry on. Nicodene (talk) 04:25, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
