|style="font-size:1.1em;"| Etymologically, the term ''palanca'' has a Latin root ''palanga'', in turn related to a Greek root ''phálanx'' or ''phálangos''. Literally, it denotes a wooden roller or trunk, used to move large weights off the ground or to slide boats off the sand into the sea. In our case, the term lever can be better associated with Archimedes’ saying ‘give me a place to stand, and a lever long enough, and I will move the earth'. A lever, with a suitable point of support, can move (almost) anything. | |style="font-size:1.1em;"| Etymologically, the term ''palanca'' has a Latin root ''palanga'', in turn related to a Greek root ''phálanx'' or ''phálangos''.
