The [[Romance languages]] also preserve several loanwords from Gothic, such as [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] {{lang|pt|agasalho}} (warm clothing), from Gothic {{lang|got|*𐌲𐌰𐍃𐌰𐌻𐌾𐌰}} (*{{transliteration|got|gasalja}}, “companion, comrade”); {{lang|pt|ganso}} (goose), from Gothic {{lang|got|*𐌲𐌰𐌽𐍃}} ({{transliteration|got|*gans}}, "goose"); {{lang|pt|luva}} (glove), from Gothic {{lang|got|𐌻𐍉𐍆𐌰}} ({{transliteration|got|lōfa}}, “palm of the hand”); and {{lang|pt|trégua}} (truce), from Gothic {{lang|got|𐍄𐍂𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍅𐌰}} ({{transliteration|got|triggwa}}, “treaty; covenant”). Other examples include the [[French language|French]] ''broder'' (to embroider), from Gothic *𐌱𐍂𐌿𐌶𐌳𐍉𐌽 (''*bruzdon'', "to embroider"); ''gaffe'' (gaffe), from Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐍆𐌰𐌷 (''gafāh'', "catch; something which is caught"); and the Italian ''bega'' (quarrel, dispute), from Gothic *𐌱𐌴𐌲𐌰 (''*bēga'', "quarrel").
