Etymology 1.

It’s worth asking at this point why etymology is so seductive. For most people it represents their first (and frequently only) encounter with linguistics. As we know, words are at once completely prosaic -- we use them every day, mostly without thinking -- and rather mysterious. As a result it’s natural to ask where they come from. We weave stories around their origin, both patently false and more plausible. That curiosity shouldn’t be dismissed: it’s a knocking at the door of linguistics. If they shut it in people’s faces, the guardians of knowledge about language risk closing off a route to both enlightenment and wonder. As a result, people seek their wonder elsewhere -- in false accounts of how language works. ~ Page 56
