A word counts when its etymology names the Latin word it was inherited from; words borrowed from Latin later, and words from a Latin form that is only reconstructed, are left out. The century is the Latin entry's date of first attestation, or that of the first author it names. It says when the Latin word was first written down, not when it entered speech.
