Abstract

Words, too, have their "case history" they arise, are derived, develop, change 'in meaning, vanish, and have even their "family relationship"; the science of all which we usually call etymology.' Today we want to examine from this viewpoint only three such Word histories. In the process of the investigation it might become clear that by scrutinizing, in such manner, a word which we have been taking heretofore "for granted", we are to gain deeper insight into its meaning and wider implications; that thus we reach much farther out than before when we were using that word as a mere "conserve", as a sort of canned good
