Etymology

edit

Via other European languages, ultimately borrowed from Latin applicātiō, from applicō (apply), made into a 4th-declension feminine noun ( +‎ -ācija). The sense "applique" is probably due to the influence of the French term appliqué.

Usage notes

edit

In the sense of "computer application", aplikācija is considered "incorrect" or "non-standard," the "correct" term being lietotne (or, more officially, lietojumprogrammatūra). In fact, aplikācija was even jokingly elected in Latvia as gada nevārds ('non-word of the year') in 2014. [1]
