Etymologist

What is Etymologist?


1.

An etymologist is a person who studies etymology.

Etymology is an account of the history of a particular word or element of a word.

Through old texts and comparisons with other languages, etymologists try to reconstruct the history of words — when they entered a language, from what source, and how their form and meaning changed.

An Etymologist is different then a philologist, one who studies linguistics and etymology.

Beware, those who are nescientoften misuse and mispronounce'entymology' which is actually the study of insects!

(et-uh-mol-uh-jist)

If you want to learn the origin of the word nescient, then you should consult an etymologist!
