Etymology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Etymology is the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time. By an extension, the term "the etymology of [a word]" means the origin of the particular word.

For languages with a long written history, etymologists make use of texts in these languages and texts about the languages to gather knowledge about how words were used during earlier periods of their history and when they entered the languages in question. Etymologists also apply the methods of comparative linguistics to reconstruct information about languages that are too old for any direct information to be available.

By analyzing related languages with a technique known as the comparative method, linguists can make inferences about their shared parent language and its vocabulary. In this way, word roots have been found that can be traced all the way back to the origin of, for instance, the Indo-European language family.

Even though etymological research originally grew from the philological tradition, currently much etymological research is done on language families where little or no early documentation is available, such as Uralic and Austronesian.

The word etymology is derived from the Greek word ἐτυμολογία, etymologia, itself from ἔτυμον, etymon, meaning "true sense" and the suffix -logia, denoting "the study of".[1][2]

So either al-Maliki agrees to resign, signs a US friendly status of forces agreement or he can sit back and watch while ISIS burns city after city. No matter what happens it's all al-Maliki's fault so it works well for the United States.

Al-Abadi is a lot more US friendly, still a Shia but western educated. Parliament has 30 days to confirm him and as long as it goes through without a hitch we'll miraculously see the Iraqi military start fighting.

I like Sean's idea.

Convict Super Soldiers: Fighting for their freedom.


And you're right, we're a bunch of bleeding heart. sympathetic pansies. It will take an attack 10x 9/11 to get enough momentum, which would die out quickly so we'd have to seize the moment.

You have to wonder why we haven't been hit, but it's probably because they're happy with Americas' current decline.

And put in place a king or a dictator that is willing to kill anyone that steps up.

Seems like they had one of those. .

Dude. Shut the fuck up.

Malarkey's move is too little too late, and ISIS won't care about his replacement, either. They're Sunnis, and they like to bust Shias up.

Dude. Shut the fuck up.

So in other words you don't know
