| Language | Etymology / Notes |
|---|---|
| Afrikaans | "Beskerming" means both "protection" and "reservation" in Afrikaans. |
| Albanian | The word "mbrojtje" is derived from the Latin word "protectio", meaning "to cover or shield". |
| Amharic | The word 'መከላከያ' ('protection') derives from the root 'ከላ' ('surround') and connotes the act of encircling or safeguarding something valuable. |
| Arabic | The word "الحماية" can also refer to "support" or "defense" in Arabic. |
| Azerbaijani | The 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". |
| Basque | The word _babes_ also retains its original meaning 'child' after the arrival of Latin *iNfāns and its plural form *iNfānt-ēs in Early Basque. |
| Belarusian | The 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. |
| Bengali | The word "সুরক্ষা" (suraksha) in Bengali derives from the Sanskrit word "सुरक्षा" (suraksha), which means "safety", "security", or "protection". |
| Bosnian | The word "zaštita" is derived from the Slavic root "ščit", which also means "shield". |
| Bulgarian | The word "защита" can also mean "defense" or "cover" in Bulgarian. |
| Catalan | In Catalan, "protecció" also means "patronage", "shelter" or "safeguard". |
| Cebuano | The Cebuano word “proteksyon” can also mean “to take care of” or “to provide for”. |
| Chinese (Simplified) | The word "保护" can also mean "custody" or "patronage". |
| Chinese (Traditional) | 保護 is also an abbreviation of the Chinese phrase 保持青春 ("preserving youth") in reference to a cosmetic procedure. |
| Corsican | The word also appears in the names of a number of Corsican villages and hamlets, such as Prunete (Prunettu in Corsican). |
| Croatian | The word 'zaštita' also means 'safeguard' or 'assurance' in Croatian. |
| Czech | The 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". |
| Danish | The word 'beskyttelse' is derived from the Old Norse word 'beskytta', meaning 'to guard' or 'defend' something. |
| Dutch | The word "bescherming" is derived from the Middle Dutch word "beschermen," meaning "to protect, to defend, to shield, to guard, to preserve, to save, to keep safe, to secure, to maintain, to
