Welcome to the EtymologyRules- a podcast where we discuss word origins and how they change over time. Which in turn means we discuss the birth and development of the ideas that said words represent!

Etymology is the study of the origin of words. From the Greek etymon, "true" and -ology, "the study of" or "words about.

Deepen your understanding of ideas by getting to the root of the language.
