The word etymology is basically the study of the history of words. It literally covers the source of the word, their form as well as their meaning and also if the meaning has changed over a period of time. Etymology focuses more on the philosophy side, which is basically the learning of how words modify from culture to culture over a period of time. On the other hand, etymologists also use appropriate methods of proportional linguistics to recreate information about languages that are in addition old for any straight information, like writing to be acknowledged.

The word etymology itself is derived from the Greek word ἔτυμον and λόγος, in other words lógos, word. The term was in the beginning applied to the hunt of allegedly "original" or "true" meanings of words, on main beliefs that are unwanted as intuitive by contemporary linguistics.
