CONTRARIAN TRUTH CLAIMS
RANKED REVEALS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
Etymology calls itself the “true account.”
Greek ἔτυμος “true, real” joined -λογία “account or study”; even that truth-word reaches a reconstructed root.
*set-u- → ἔτυμος “true” → ἐτυμολογία “true account” → etymology
ἐτυμολογίαSupplies the attested Greek technical compound and its true-sense analysis.
“True” is not yet “etymology.”
Greek ἔτυμος meant true, real, or actual. A neuter technical noun and then the compound ἐτυμολογία had to turn truth into an inquiry about words.
*set-u- → *setu-mo- → ἔτυμος
Headword ἐτυμολογίαDocuments the compound that becomes etymology.
SCHOLARLY DISAGREEMENT
DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
Did etymology originally mean modern science?
No. Ancient etymology pursued a word’s “true sense”; the modern comparative discipline developed much later.
ἐτυμολογίαSupplies the ancient Greek technical term and its true-sense analysis.
Did ἔτυμος itself mean the modern discipline etymology?
No. It meant true, real, or actual; only its substantivized neuter developed a technical true-sense meaning, and ἐτυμολογία is a later compound.
Headword ἐτυμολογίαDocuments the later compound.
