Yes, I am sure. Etymology specifically focuses on the history and evolution of words, including their origins, transformations in form and meaning over time, and their relationships to other words in the same language or in different languages. While understanding the meaning of a word can be part of etymology, its primary purpose is to explain how words have changed and developed.
