could certainly have taken them from another set of languages, but Latin
and Ancient Greek strike me as being very likely candidates, as these words
are well-known even among non-speakers, and because I'd wager it's
difficult to go through an education in linguistics without being heavily
exposed to these languages.

Ah, of course, Latin and Greek.  That makes much more sense.
