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.
Answer:
Yes, I do agree with this. I know from experience myself. I've done some bad things and at that moment I blamed it on the people I was hanging around or other things, but looking back I realize that I am in control of my own body, no body else. No body made me make the decision I did, it was all me. And in times of weakness is when we are most vulnerable to make these bad decisions. This can occur when drinking and smoking, or simple hanging out with friends. Studies have shown that people think different and act different when drinking, drugs, or peer pressure is involved. For example, normally I wouldn't smoke, but if I am with my friends and they are, then yes most likely I will too. I was in a time of weakness, but as humans we have to learn to say no sometimes.
