The answer to your question would be that the etimology of a word is its history and development. Etimology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over the years.

For instance, the etimology of the verb "to give" states that it comes from Old English giefan (West Saxon) "to give, bestow, deliver to another; allot, grant; commit, devote, entrust" and so on.

Written questions:

Number 5: Stanzas 12-13 contribute to the theme of the poem by showing how Casey's pride gets the best of him and he ends up striking out.

Discussion questions:

1. Casey's pride causes him to strike out because he thinks he is going to hit no matter what.

2. Casey attained this power by working hard and being good at baseball. We elevate athletes because we admire their ability and talent in the sport they play just like Casey's fans admire him when the text says, "...It pounded on the mountain and recoiled upon the flat, For Casey, mighty casey, was advancing to the bat."

3. Casey does not utilize this power wisely. His power and fame are corrupt because he is so arrogant to the point where he thinks he controls his fans.
