Open up the interesting world of words with our Etymology Course. It's made for people working in the Humanities who want to better understand how language has changed over time. You'll learn why understanding where words come from (etymology) is important. You'll also look at how words have changed in how they're spelled, how they sound, and what they mean. You'll follow where words came from and find their roots. You'll get good at doing research using old books and etymology dictionaries, and you'll learn how to write down what you find properly. This short, but good course will give you useful information about the cultural and historical things that have shaped language today.
