We need to study etymology to determine the true meaning of words and their functions in a sentence.
Etymology has no place in a general-purpose dictionary, and it should be left to historical or specialist dictionaries. Learners' dictionaries do not contain etymological information, though its exclusion from these dictionaries has been challenged (Ellegård 1978; Ilson 1983). Of the three Collins dictionaries.
The study of the origin and history of a word. It comes to us through Latin, with the Greek origin of (e´tymon “original form” + logia “study of”).
Etymology is, in a way, similar to archeology; since they both depend on existing evidence in order to explain a current form.
Each language has its complex history where the origin is broken down and changed through time. For instance, English went through Old, Middle and Modern eras reaching its contemporary form.
Dictionary
A book that contains a list of words in alphabetical order and explains their meanings, or gives a word for them in another language or gives information about a particular subject.
Dictionaries have been developed and revival over time to meet the needs of learners of English as a second or foreign language.
Lexicography is one of the main focus of linguists. Why dictionaries are compiled? how dictionaries are compiled? who compiles a dictionary? Does he master the words or words master him? all such stuff lies in the realm of lexicographic domain.

A dictionary is a reference book about words and as such it describes the functioning of individual words (sometimes called lexical items). It does so by listing these words in alphabetical order in the form of headwords, the words listed as entries in the dictionary.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. The Oxford English Dictionary is the accepted authority on the evolution of the English language over the last millennium. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of over half a million words, both present and past. It traces the usage of words through 2.5 million quotations from a wide range of international English language sources, from classic literature and specialist periodicals to film scripts and cookery books.
3. History When the members of the Philological Society of London decided, in 1857, that existing English language dictionaries were incomplete and deficient, and called for a complete re-examination of the language from Anglo-Saxon times onward, they knew they were embarking on an ambitious project. However, even they didn't realize the full extent of the work they initiated, or how long it would take to achieve the final result.
4. The new dictionary was planned as a four-volume, 6,400-page work that would include all English language vocabulary from the Early Middle English period onward, plus some earlier words if they had continued to be used into Middle English. The project proceeded slowly after the Society's first grand statement of purpose. Eventually, in 1879, the Society made an agreement with the Oxford University Press and James A. H. Murray to begin work on a New English Dictionary
5. Murray and his team did manage to publish the first part in 1884, but much more comprehensive work was required So… Over the next four decades work on the Dictionary continued and new editors joined the project. Murray now had a large team directed by himself, Henry Bradley, W.A. Craigie, and C.T. Onions. These men worked steadily, producing fascicle after fascicle until finally, in April, 1928, the last volume was published.
6. By spending $13.5 million in the most adventurous computerization project seen in the publishing industry at that time, Bespoke computer systems were built for both pre-processing the text and editing it in electronic form; text was marked up in the novel SGML encoding scheme; the pages of the old edition and the Supplement were typed again by 120 keyboarders; and more than 50 proofreaders checked the results of their work. MakingitModern
7. ElectronicAge In 1992 the Oxford English Dictionary again made history when a CD-ROM edition of the work was published. Suddenly a massive, twenty-volume work that takes up four feet of shelf space and weighs 150 pounds is reduced to a slim, shiny disk that takes up virtually no space and weighs just a few ounces.
8. The Oxford English Dictionary on CD-ROM has been a great success. The electronic format has revolutionized the way people use the Dictionary to search and retrieve information. Complex investigations into word origins or quotations that would have been impossible to conduct using the print edition now take only a few seconds. Because the electronic format makes the Oxford English Dictionary so easy to use, its audience now embraces all kinds of interested readers beyond the confines of the scholarly community.
10. To offer unparalleled access to the wealth of material contained in the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary and 3-volume Additions Series, online publication enables the ‘treasure-house’ of the English language to move with the times as never before. New material from the £34 million revision program, which began in 1993, is released quarterly, offering online subscribers a unique opportunity to follow the progress of the revision project.
20. OED Online enables you to see how an entry has changed over time. A unique feature of OED Online is the ability to see what both of these different texts said about a word, and to compare them at the click of a button. Every entry is labelled with date of publication and a description of which text it is from, so that its status can be clearly seen. EntryVersions
21. Some entries from the Additions are complete, free-standing entries. Others add supplementary material to an existing Second Edition entry, which will contain a button indicating this. You will see the supplementary material displayed at the foot of an entry featuring the Additions button.
22. In the case of those entries which have already been revised and had new research incorporated, a 'Revised draft' version will be available. These draft entries have not been previously published, and may be altered in the future if further relevant material comes to light.
24. To help you look up the words you want, the site offers several different ways to search. The most straightforward is the simple Find Word search, available at the top right-hand corner of every page. This restricts the search to the defined words and phrases. Simply enter the word you're looking for, click Find Word, and the entry will be displayed if there is a single match, or a results list will be displayed if there is more than one match.
25. When you type letters into the Find Word box, you can include the '*' character when you don't know exactly how to spell a word, or when you want to ask for everything that begins or ends with a particular sequence of letters. For example, to see all the words and phrases beginning with refuse, enter refuse* into the Find Word box:
26. To search for references to the word 'ghost' in the titles of quoted works, enter 'ghost' into the search box, select 'quotation work' from the pull-down list, and click Start Search. SPECIFIC SEARCH
27. This produces the following results list from the Second Edition, which includes links to the entries containing the quotations, as well as direct links into the body of the quotations themselves, surrounded by a little context to show where the word 'ghost' has been found.
29. Just as with the Find Word facility, where you could enter a word, phrase, or pattern with wildcards, so you may also search anywhere in the different text areas or in the whole Dictionary text for occurrences of a phrase which interests you. So to find variations on phrases such as mad as a hatter or mad as a March hare, type 'mad as a' in the first search box, using 'full text' as the selected area, to see how inventively this formula has been used. As usual, the results list appears:
