Afrikaans"Beskerming" means both "protection" and "reservation" in Afrikaans.
AlbanianThe word "mbrojtje" is derived from the Latin word "protectio", meaning "to cover or shield".

ArabicThe word "الحماية" can also refer to "support" or "defense" in Arabic.
AzerbaijaniThe Azerbaijani word "qorunma" ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *(s)ker-, (s)keru-, (s)kerw-, meaning "to see" or "to watch". This root is also the origin of the English word "score" and the Greek word "horao", meaning "to look at".
BasqueThe word _babes_ also retains its original meaning 'child' after the arrival of Latin *iNfāns and its plural form *iNfānt-ēs in Early Basque.
BelarusianThe word "абарона" (protection) is derived from the Old Belarusian word "борона" (a harrow), which originally referred to a tool used to protect fields from pests.
BengaliThe word "সুরক্ষা" (suraksha) in Bengali derives from the Sanskrit word "सुरक्षा" (suraksha), which means "safety", "security", or "protection".

CorsicanThe word also appears in the names of a number of Corsican villages and hamlets, such as Prunete (Prunettu in Corsican).
CroatianThe word 'zaštita' also means 'safeguard' or 'assurance' in Croatian.
CzechThe term was borrowed from the name of a Russian secret police department that operated under the Tsardom, which in turn borrowed it from the Sanskrit word "raksh" meaning "to keep".
