An addition to the graphic above:

Another interesting Italian word is 'codesto': "that (near you)", now archaic outside Tuscany.

It comes from Old Italian 'cotevesto'.

This word descended from Latin 'eccum tibi istum', literally something like "here's this for you".

In isolation, these words became 'ecco', 'ti', and '(qu)esto'.
