Ah I love this kind of stuff! It's the little ones that get me excited. Like when it suddenly occurred to me that like 'survive' in both French (survivre) and Spanish (sobrevivir) literally means 'on live' or 'live on'. That's so cool! And I LOVE that oxymoron one! Awesome!
Hi Lucy I come from Greece and no you're not the only one interested in the etymology of the words. I personally love searching for the origin of the words and most importantly when it comes to my language Greek and all the Germanic languages like English Swedish which I love or German I get mesmerised by the beauty of the words of these language families . Fun fact : Did you know that the etymology of the word etymology is Greek ;😅 Your content is excellent go on like that.
Box Uranus Hello, I am from Greece too and based on the similarities between some English words and Greek words I think that most of the Greek etymologies in English words are scientific definitions (even though 5.000 or 10.000 English words have Greek etymology I think).Please correct me if I'm wrong. P.S. Sorry for keep writing "English words" and "Greek etymology" Χαιρετίσματα από Ελλάδα!! Greetings from Greece!!
Anastasia K. Hello Anastasia yes it is true English has used a lot of Greek words for scientific purposes basically but I think that there are some everyday words in the English language that originated from Greek either directly or most commonly indirectly through Latin and French
Yes Lucy!! Native speaker over here obsessed with etymology! I also enjoy a sneak peak into the depths of word history: my favourite is the origin of the words 'skirt' and 'shirt'. The 'k' (sky, skree, skin) sound originally comes from Nordic countries and came over with the viking invasion in 1066. In Daneland (northumberland), they used 'skirt' to describe tunics worn in battle under chainmail. In the south, mainly populated by the French, they used 'shirt' to describe the same thing. Over time they gained separate meanings as the tunic separated into a top and bottom half, and we now have the words for 'shirt' and 'skirt'. #languagenerd
1) I absolutely love your videos... I will never get tired of telling it 2) I love etymology: it explains a lot about words and therefore about the language in question 3) after this video I won't eat avocados anymore 4) why don't you keep this background? I find it cool... with character!!!!
Coupled with your beauty and the joy in the subject matter and teaching in general that is clearly sincere . I could say I was mesmerized. Wow ! Thank you . Word Logus
I really love etymology (I mostly study about English, Greek, Turkish, Persian and Arabic vocabulary), so I am glad to see there is a video of yours about it! The world "Muscle" actually comes from the latin word "musculus" which also comes from the ancient (and modern) greek word μῦς (mys), which actually has the exact same meaning. Fan fact: the word Etymology also comes from the Greek Language. It literally means the art of finding the pure, the true word, actually the root of it.
The origin of No. 7 Avocado is pretty similar than Spanish (aguacate). It´s easy to get confused with this one (abogado = lawyer), mostly when you are learning Spanish and your mothertongue is English. :)
Absolutely delightful, what a mind of information ! lots of great and interesting facts, loved watching and enjoyed your zany delivery too, I can relate ! We will be watching more of your videos.
you always looks beautiful, Lucy. I love your explanation and I almost spend about 10 to 15 mintues to watch your videos everyday. Keep your great work.
Hi, Lucy. I am from Bulgaria 🇧🇬. I am learning at the moment both English and Spanish. I like very much your channel and it really helps me. But I also want to improve my listening skills in Spanish so could you recommend me a channel in youtube for Spanish learners? Thank you.
It’s good to study different books for the same information. I love that idea and it is also one of the ways that I haves adapted to when it comes to study the things I am interested in.
Avocado in Portuguese is abacate. Guava, goiaba; olive, oliva or azeitona; mango, manga. A sleeve is also called manga in Portuguese. Onion, cebola; garlic, alho. Lucy, you are stunning today.
Hello, Lucy! I like ethymology too, and I've been studying this subjects for years, of course in romanic languages. These languages have ther origen in latin and greek, with the exception of some spanish word, that come from the arabic. I've been surprised in discovering the same origen of the spanish word "vaina" (the cover of the sword), and the other word... you know. Thank you for the lesson, I'll be waiting for more videos in your channel. My greetings from Uruguay!
"same origen of the spanish word "vaina" (the cover of the sword), and the other word... you know." - it's not surpised, because and Spain and Britain were provinces of Rome... and later too it's had cultural influence from Latin too... :>

Hello, Lucy, I enjoyed your video about etymology. I think that it is very interesting science, it's kind of learning history through our everyday routine. We often don't know anything about words we are using, but when we search, we can find so many interesting stories behind it! I hope this is not your last video about etymology, it was so remarkable and I enjoyed it so much. Well done! :-) PS: Word 'muscle' has so weird explanation, just that thought of having mice under my skin gives me shivers! :-D
have found with many words, over periods of time and the ongoing agenda and or narrative, the word becomes a group of letters representing the 'time'...very interesting. english language is a form of spell casting with the user being unaware of what he or she utters.
The etymology means the birth of life by the sun and moon. Etymology is designed with all of the text structure in ancient Korean(chosen)language. Indo-European language is rooted in ancient Korean language. www.gelssi.com/ 잉글리쉬 English 언 글씨 말씨를 그리다. 언자 애텨서 말오지, 애텨말지 , 애텨몰로지,etymology
Hi Lucy! Loved the video. To set something straight though, I must correct you on the etymology of oxymoron. Oxy means sharp or acute but moros means baby and because Greeks thought babies made no sense (you can't understand them) they called adults moros meaning crazy/foolish. So oxymoron is something that is acutely crazy/foolish.
Dear Lucy, I've just run barefoot to Timbuktu and back to watch this particular video; I only made it by the skin of my teeth, though. Any prizes at all? On a side note, I deeply and profoundly adore this channel. Much obliged in advance.
I suppose you subscribe to the Mirriam-Webster word of the day. Very enlightening. Love Kory Stamper's little videos. Perhaps do a lesson on the origin of phrases or sayings. e.g. Do you know the origin of "let the cat out of the bag"?
Hi Lucy, do you speak french? If you are interested in etymology you should learn it😉 . You' ll find out very strong connection between both languages. At least the british aristocracy used to speak it back in the days.
Adding one more to this list, sincere - which comes from 2 latin words - sine cera - meaning "without wax". The origin of this goes back to the Renaissance when sculptors used to create a lot of statues using marble, and when there was any error, they used wax to cover it and make the error less noticeable. So, "without wax" meant a statue which was without errors, in other words, pure and unblemished. That's how sincere came to be used to mean a feeling which is pure.

Hi from Brazil, Lucy!

Buenos videos como siempre Lucy... o que diga "Lucía" 👍👍😁😁😁
Hi lucy from somalia east africa
I will not be able to say 'Oxymoron' again without thinking about Sharp and Blunt. Lovely lesson.
The fact that you don't eat bread or ice cream puts a major strain on our friendship.
Bread ... my problem in Malaysia that they don't have that big spongy bronze Bread ... I can smell it now
they are so overrated Aly
we have the same family name :) :)
