Cách sử dụng
The word "etymology" refers to the origins or history of a particular word or phrase, where it came from and how its meaning has evolved over time. This can be useful for English learners who want to understand the meanings of words in a deeper context and see how they are related to each other. For example, knowing the etymology of the word "telephone" (from the Greek words tele, meaning "far," and phone, meaning "sound") can help learners understand that it is a device for transmitting sound over long distances. By learning the etymology of words, English learners can better understand their usage and meanings, and also improve their vocabulary and communication skills.
