Explain the significance of etymology in language development. use examples of words and their origins to support your ideas. consult a dictionary or other resources as needed to cite at least two examples.

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.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

i highly recommend james madison. the work is simple and if you stick to it you can graduate quickly. the work is simple and the teachers are very interactive. the flow of the school work is all on your time so it's not really a dead line. go on their website and look at pricing and enrollment plans. i know when i signed up i got a discount. you pay a certain amount of money every month. it's kind of expensive but i did it in 6 days tops with just my senior year left : )
