Importance of Etymology

From the first moments of our life that as Human Beings we need dependence on other individuals in order to survive, forming part of what is defined as a Primary Social Group, consisting precisely of our Family, with which we will have a very close contact to throughout our lives and so in our Life Cycle we will have great importance in our Relationship with them and the environment in which we operate.

In addition to providing us with essential care in the first years of our life, it is through it that we begin to acquire the different Values ​​and Learning with which we will operate throughout our lives, taking into account not only the Moral Values but also the introduction in the way we see the world and, most importantly, the Language or Language that we will be using often.

At first this is introduced to us as a form of mere imitation, having the ability to Listen and Apprehend the concepts that we use daily for communication with our peers, but later we have the study and incorporation of new Concepts and Meanings to through our education and training .

At a more advanced level of this is the study of the Etymology of Words , a science that has different criteria to approach an intensive study of Words and Language , investigating them through how they are constructed (that is, the Structure of the Word ) as well as the meaning that these have and their application in different contexts.

In this way, we can even find a Historical Etymology analyzing the evolution of the same according to when they were applied in a context or chronology, as well as the Evolution that it has had from its original conformation when it was included in the Language until its current use , with various changes or idioms.

In addition to analyzing the different Structure Changes we can also find a semantic or pragmatic criterion according to the changes that this word has had around the Concept or Essence that they seek to describe (which may vary over time) as well as the different Contexts or Frames in the which is applied.
