Alexander CekalaMore on Etymology
Well, the science where the origins of a word are studied is called ETYMOLOGY!
This science goes much deeper than one can fathom...
Chia : Hrrmph Deeper in Time!
Yes, Yes ofcourse.... the first etymological studies were done by the indian masters (one of which was Patanjali) in the 2nd Century BC!! Comprehensive records of etymology are found in the ancient indian literature called Vedantas.
The first graeco-roman etymological literature was by Plato and Socrates. This was around c.360 BC!
It became a academic subject in europe only around the 17th century.
Well, now we also have etymologic games we can play here
You might just find out that dandelions have been named from the French words meaning Lion's Teeth!
