Etymology is the study of the
history of
words, their origins, and how their form and
meaning have changed over time. By extension, the term "the etymology (of a word)" means the origin of the particular word.
For a language with a long
written history, etymologists make use of texts in these languages and texts about the languages to gather knowledge about how words were used during earlier periods of their history and when they entered the languages in question. Etymologists also apply the methods of
comparative linguistics to reconstruct information about languages that are too old for any direct information to be available.
By analyzing related languages with a technique known as the
comparative method, linguists can make inferences about their shared parent language and its vocabulary. In this way,
word roots have been found that can be traced all the way back to the origin of, for instance, the
Indo-European language family.
Even though etymological research originally grew from the
philological tradition, currently much etymological research is done on
language families where little or no early documentation is available, such as
Uralic and
Austronesian.
