Where does "gringo" word from?

There are many theories about the name of “gringo”, the oldest version comes from Roman times and his Latin proverb “graecum est; non potesti legi”, meaning of “is in Greek, can’t be read”. This phrase has been used in many European countries and persons, such as Shakespeare: “It’s all greek to me” (Julius Cesar).

In addition, it’s interesting to know that the gospels were written on greek before latin. However, some historians believe in the association to “greek” with “foreigner” to indicate that the greek language wasn’t necessary to understand the holy scriptures.

Moreover, “gringo” word appear written on Spanish XVIII c. in the famous “Diccionario Castellano”(1786-1793) researched by father Esteban de Terreros y Pando, explaining that the word was used to refeer someone (foreign) who speak Spanish with difficulties.

In other hand, “gringo” word could be a transformation of the word “greek” because “gringo” word appears on RAE (Royal Spanish Academy) first time in the year 1869 and was defined: “familiarly voice used. Also used as a greek in this phrase: talk in gringo, doing it on a language unintelligible”.

Suddenly, i heard a noise from the other side of the yard, then I went to see it and I can’t see anything through thickets, so I didn’t have choice and I climbed the fence to know what is happening there since Budd and Shirlee moved out the house. However, I didn’t know what kind of things had that house and yard, and then I saw an opened door, I walked to through it and explore the house inside, and meanwhile I can hear voices: “Lily, we’re waiting you”. When i was walking, I can feel a cold breath in my back. That’s scary.

Moreover, at the moment when I was reaching to the living room I saw a table at the middle with three chairs in it, but after to reach at that table, the voice it was louder, and began to appear shadows but, in each step the shadows began to make it more and more clear. I can saw three familiar faces, my husband, son and daughter. Then I decided to ask them “why are you here?” and they said “we’re here because you’re dead, you did it in an accident and you don’t know it, you were dead, in a deepest dream of coma, and you must to go”.

After that, I didn’t understand, and just questions came to my mind… So, I asked to my husband “how do you explain every moment lived?”, then he said “it just your mind, because you don’t know when do you die”. Suddenly, I felt strange because my body it was vanishing and I could see how began to disappear my legs, arms, and then my mind and voice was silenced, no more words, no more thoughts, just another life into the world and transformed in a new soul of the nature.
