et·y·mol·o·gy /ˌedəˈmäləjē/ noun the study of the origin of words and the way in which their meanings have changed throughout history. "the decline of etymology as a linguistic discipline" the origin of a word and the historical development of its meaning. plural noun: etymologies "the etymology of the word “devil”"
I expected the etymology to have some sort of crazy story or something. You disappoint me, English language.
