Etymology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time. By extension, the term "the etymology (of a word)" means the origin of the particular word.
For a language with a long written history, etymologists make use of texts in these languages and texts about the languages to gather knowledge about how words were used during earlier periods of their history and when they entered the languages in question. Etymologists also apply the methods of comparative linguistics to reconstruct information about languages that are too old for any direct information to be available.
By analyzing related languages with a technique known as the comparative method, linguists can make inferences about their shared parent language and its vocabulary. In this way, word roots have been found that can be traced all the way back to the origin of, for instance, the Indo-European language family.
Even though etymological research originally grew from the philological tradition, currently much etymological research is done on language families where little or no early documentation is available, such as Uralic and Austronesian.
Etymology is the study of the truth - the origins of words. Language is one of mankind's most manipulated and perverted concepts (Especially English). The further you get from the Oldest Languages, the more perverted and void of meaning the words become.. Our words create our worlds and it is PARAMOUNT to understand what the words we are saying actually mean so that we do not box ourselves into our limited views/perceptions of the world. When we say something limiting, we are limiting ourselves. When we condemn another, we are condemning ourselves. OUR WORDS HAVE THE POWER TO ALTER AND CHANGE OUR REALITY: Use them wisely. _________________________________________________________________ BOOKS/CONSULTATIONS/DONATIONS http://www.billyheartbeing.com/ CONTACT http://www.billyheartbeing.com/...

Etymology explores the origin of words - the history and development of individual words in a language. It asks a question you're likely familiar with: "where did this word come from?" The last video introduced etymology as a diachronic (historical) method that seeks to recover and build the history of words. It payed special attention to the way sounds change over time, and presented ways scholars trace a word back to its earliest retrievable form (etymon). In this video, I shift the attention to semantics. Like sound change, meaning change is a dynamic process. Consider various types of semantic change (abstract to concrete, general to specific), origins of meaning change (calques, semantic borrowings) and changes that reveal connections between meaning & use (like archaic, poetic ...
Etymology explores the origin of words - the history and development of individual words in a language. Etymology asks and tries to answer a familiar question: "where did this word come from?" This video introduces etymology as a diachronic (historical) method that seeks to recover and build the history of words. Attested and reconstructed word forms help us arrive at the etymon of the Modern English word "queen". Along the way, see some of the twists and turns that a word takes throughout its history as sounds change over time in a single language and as languages borrow words from each other. Topics include the importance of sound laws for situating single words within large-scale historical change and the role of derivational morphology in uncovering the background of words with af...
Sometimes the etymology of a word is right in front of us, and we don't even see it.
