Do desultory, result, consult share the same root?
In desultory, result, consult, do sult all mean jump and leap?
I searched etymonline, which gives different interpretation, especially in consult, sult seems to mean gather together. But I hope the three words have the same root with the same meaning.
From a further exploration of etymonline:
desultory - eventually from Latin: "de- 'down' (see de-) + salire 'to jump, leap' "
result - related to resilient "inclined to leap or spring back"
consult - "from com- 'with' (see com-) + *selere 'take, gather (the Senate) together,' "
So, desultory and result share a root (about jumping) from Latin, but consult/counsel does not (its root is about selection).
