et·y·mol·o·gy - [et-uh-mol-uh-jee] noun
1. a history of a word
2. the study of the sources and development of words

etymology - from the Greek roots "etymon" which means "true sense" plus "logos" which means "word" or "study". Put it together and you have "true sense of a word".
Get it? Good!

We will be doing a lot of ethymological studies this year in 5th grade. Investigate further using some of the links. Try some of the Quia games to practice.
