Importance of Etymology
Miscellanea / / August 08, 2023
From the first moments of our life that as Human beings we need dependence on other individuals in order to survive, forming part of what is defined as a Primary Social Group consisting precisely of our Family, with whom we will have very close contact throughout our lives and for what in our Lifecycle We will have great importance in the relationship with them and the environment in which we operate.
In addition to providing us with essential care in the first years of our lives, it is through it that we begin to acquire the different Values and Learning with which we will develop throughout our lives, taking into account not only the Moral values but also to the introduction into the way we see the world and, most importantly, the language or Language which we will be using often.
At first this is introduced to us as a form of mere imitation, having the ability to Listen and Learn the concepts that we use daily for the communication with our peers, but later we have the study and incorporation of new Concepts and Meanings through our education and training.
At a more advanced level of this is the study of the etymology of Words, a science that has different criteria to approach an intensive study of the Words and the Language, investigating them through how they are built (that is, the Word Structure) as well as the meaning they have and their application in different contexts.
In this way, we can even find a historical etymology analyzing the evolution of the same according to when they were applied in a context or chronology, as well as the Evolution it has had since its original conformation when it was included in the Language until its use today, with various changes or modisms.
In addition to analyzing the different Structure Changes We can also find a semantic or pragmatic criterion according to the changes that this word has had around the Concept or Essence that seek to describe (and may vary over time) as well as the different Contexts or Frames in which it is applied.
