B. Tell how a word has changed
Etymology is the study of the history and origins of words, including how their meanings and forms have evolved over time. It aims to trace the development and changes in a word's meaning, form, and usage through its linguistic history. This can help us understand the cultural, social, and historical contexts in which words have been used, as well as how languages have developed and changed over time.
