Since I use this word regularly to search for more information about the phrases or words I explain on Saturdays, I think it's only fair to mention it in its own post:
"etymology"
Meaning: The word "etymology" goes as far back as into the late 14th century and has its roots in Greek. It describes the study of word origins and history. The original Greek words "eteos" (and thus derived etymos) and "logos" mean "true" and "teaching of".
Example: Do you know the etymology of the phrase "my cup of tea"?
Language ... the bridge of communication, the magic creator of worlds, the brush and paint of authors. Language is magic. It gives us power. It is something you just have to love.
