"Global" is a modern formation taken from the Latin word "globus" which means "a round body, globe," and the Latin adjective suffix "-alis" with the "-is" inflextional termination removed because in Latin that part of the word told the hearer or reader how the word functioned in the sentence, which of course English does with word order so it does not need the "-is." So a literal translation would be "pertaining to a round body."

Interestingly, I do not think that Latin had a word which is equivalent to English`s "global." I have seen some periphrastic phrases, which would translate in English as something like "through all the lands" etc.
