the diff between classical Latin and Medieval Latin is essentially the same as old english and Modern English (or any other language). One has evolved from the other, but there is change in vocab (including new vocab), orthography and pronunciation. So sororitas came from soror, thus the sister link is still there.

There are a lot of Latin terms that we use today that came from Medieval Latin, not classical.....most ppl don't care unless you're studying it
