It may be not needed but I would like to start the explanation by stating what etymology is. Etymology is the study of the origin of the words, their roots and their changes over different periods of time. Having said this, let us now describe why etymology is significant in the development of languages. The importance of the study of the origin, the roots and the constituents of words comes crucial when trying to form bigger and more complex vocabulary as ones advances in their academic life. it is also a crucial discipline to analyze when studying a second or a foreign language. Languages sometimes share origins in word formation, and knowing this facilitates the learning process. For example:

1.- The English word Marinade comes from the French Mariner which also comes from the Latin Marinare that means to soak in cooking liquid. In Spanish the word to mean the same is Marinar.

2.- The English Word Blouse comes also from the French Blouse /blus/ it is written the same but the pronunciation changes. And in Spanish the word is Blusa.

By analyzing these examples we can see that knowing the etymology of a word helps us learn vocabulary from different languages that share their words' roots and origins.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

yes she kisses back, before that they were flirting, and saying poems to one another . She means that Romeo would be wonderful, no matter what name he was called. For the other questions, students’ answers will vary a bit. Names, they might argue, actually do matter and Juliet is somewhat wrong. If, for example, your parents were hippies and named you Moonbeam Smith, you might have grown into a different version of yourself because of the way the world treats someone named Moonbeam. It’s fun to think about how your name influences people’s reactions to you. The answers to the second part will vary and often lead to an interesting full-class discussion.

Select the correct text in the passage.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

spent with her, I try to think with less bitterness of this act of injustice. She possessed but few slaves; and at her death those were all distributed among her relatives. Five of them were my grandmother's children, and had shared the same milk that nourished her mother's children. Notwithstanding my grandmother's long and faithful service to her owners, not one of her children escaped the auction block.
