one my favorite thing about Russian language is the root of the word for 'to work' and 'job;' "Работать" и "Работа" ("Rab-oh-tat" and "Ra-boh-tah") is the root word for slave 'Раб" ("Rab")

Also a word for a worker (masculine), by attaching the masculine person-role suffix '-Ник' ('-Nik,') is Работник ("Rab-oht-nik") which yes is exactly the origin for the name of eggman-announcement

The french "travail" comes from latin for torture. Actually pregnant women go into "travail"~labor.
