Etymology Essay

December 17, 2008

Do you copy verbatim out of books, articles, or newspaper? Well, to help you with that problem I will

show you how to paraphrase. But, first I will have to teach you etymology. “What is ‘Etymology?’” you

say. “Etymology” is the study of the history of words. The languages you speak and the languages you hear all

derive from one place. No not from the dictionary even those words are derive from a group of people that you

may have heard you guess it the “Ancient Romans.” When the Romans were here they conquered many lands, and as

they conquered their language “Latin” was force on the people and made a blend. That gave you languages you

may or may not be familiar with: French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Even though you may think this isn’t very important to how to paraphrase. This little piece of

information can help you paraphrase. You could change a whole paragraph by the words you choose to head it

with. Look at my first sentence: Do you copy verbatim out of books, articles, or newspaper? Look at it now

little from it has change: Do you copy word for word out of books, articles, or newspaper? Instead of using so

many words you see in a text you could simplify it one or two words. Verbatim is a Latin word that means word

for word. Because I know that you actually can use some different languages in a sentence I used verbatim.

But, I couldn’t have used it if I didn’t know etymology.

But, even with the ancient they never stop and tried to extend their languages by the rich and the poor.

But, William the duke of Normandy did when he conquered the land England he only associated with the wealthy.

And that’s why only 60% of England is in French and not 100%. You might think ok what does that has to with me

and how I’m going to fix my plagiarism problem. It is hypothesizing that you have to learn foreign languages

to go on to the next step in school. And as it is said before you never know when foreign languages can help

you paraphrase your paper that is an “F” to and “A”. Wouldn’t it be?

The last big part of the history is the monks you know monks to be peaceful right. They are and they

spread the English language by religion. And even if religion is not a big part of your life you might find

that religion has Latin in it too. You know the phrase anno dominium. You don’t well you might recognize it

like this anno dominium (a.d.). And this term means after death if you are a Christian or even if you are not

you would probably know the term. This way caught on very rapidly. And since you suck me dry I don’t have a

single bit of information left.
