CLAIM.
THE IMAGE WAS CHECKED.
The e-rara page image was directly inspected. It verifies the ETYMOLOGY headword and opening definition in Harris’s 1704 English dictionary; it is not claimed as the earliest English occurrence and does not by itself prove the deeper Greek or reconstructed ancestry.

etymology
John Harris’s Lexicon technicum prints ETYMOLOGY as a headword and defines it as the part of grammar concerned with words’ origins and true signification.
“ETYMOLOGY, is that part of Grammar, which teaches the Original of Words, in order the better to distinguish and establish their true Signification.”
