Etymology explores the origin of words - the history and development of individual words in a language. Etymology asks and tries to answer a familiar question: "where did this word come from?"
This video introduces etymology as a diachronic (historical) method that seeks to recover and build the history of words. Attested and reconstructed word forms help us arrive at the etymon of the Modern English word "queen".
Along the way, see some of the twists and turns that a word takes throughout its history as sounds change over time in a single language and as languages borrow words from each other. Topics include the importance of sound laws for situating single words within large-scale historical change and the role of derivational morphology in uncovering the background of words with affixes.
