Etymology

Etymology is the art of revealing theformation of a word and the developmentof its meaning. The source of the worditself is Greek, etumos, “real, true”, andthus the art is “finding the underlying ortrue meaning of words”. There is alsothe sense of “root”, as in the history of aword, rather than its meaning. But ofcourse, the history of the word is in manycases, the history of its meaning.
