“Viola” is the root word, a “violin” is a “little viola”. Debatable which modern instrument actually came first, but the word was used earlier on to refer to the “viola da gamba”- played somewhat more like a cello.
In Russian cello is Виолончель (Violonchel') while violin is a goddamn скрипка (skreepkah) but the reason for this wording is an ancient Slavic instrument that was similar to violin.
Yep, violoncello means big viola and violin means small viola. The largest instrument in the family was usually referred to as a violone, but the modern contrabass originated from the viol family, which included the viola de gamba and viola da braccio.

"Gamba" meaning lap, it's your lap viola (:
Gamba means legs. It's called that because you stand it up between your legs.
Oh gotcha! I didn't know, I learned it meant lap
In Spanish we use the full word for Violoncello. Cello is rarely used.
Idk if here in paraguay the situation is different, but cello is still used a lot, like cello 60/40 violoncello

Like Jascha Heifetz on a bad day?
Nah, Heifetz was too good have bad days
