Relevance to the topic:
Language and words are part of us human beings. That goes without saying. Because if it won’t be any words people wouldn’t be able to communicate with each other, it wouldn’t be any languages. Nowadays, in such a rushing world everything needs to be done fast. We don’t pay attention to the words we are saying in our daily conversations. We don’t even realize that the origin of the word, its meaning changed over time.
GOAL:
explain what is etymology and how origin of the word changed over time.
What is etymology?
Etymology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time. By an extension, the term "etymology (of a word)" means the origin of a particular word. The word etymology is derived from the Greek etymon, meaning true sense and the suffix -logia, denoting the study of.
For languages 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
