Etymology is the study of a word's history. It traces any word back to its original language, reveals the date when it was put into use, and helps us see how we arrived at modern English.

Did you know that many of our English words have been taken directly from other languages? Not only are we creating more of our own each day, but we also borrow from languages like French, German, Japanese, and many others! To see a few more, check out the link below.
