A friend's FB status: You may have noticed by now that there is [lie] in "believe".
Gusto ko sanang i-comment: But, etymologically speaking, "believe" is from a proto-indo-european base *leubh- "to like, desire" (or love). The spelling of the word has evolved in such a way that there's a "lie" inside the word.
Let's not look at the "lie", but the "lieve" which is "love".
Saka, it doesn't have a root word, because it's not a compound term.
Ang seryoso, baka deadmahin lang. Or worse, burahin.
