The Etymology is the branch of linguistics to study and decipher the words. Etymology has the difficult task of finding meaning, reason for being, way of expressing itself and adaptation to different cultures. When a new word is entered in the dictionary of the RAE (Royal Spanish Academy), it first goes through an etymological journey in which the origin of the word, the combination of the letters, and why it is associated with that characteristic is thoroughly studied. object that tries to define, but even more, an analysis is carried out in which the impact of the relationship of the word with the socio-cultural environment that surrounds it is determined.
Words or graphemes are a descriptive tool that allows free communication between people. Etymology is oriented as a purpose, the distribution of words around the world, giving clear concepts of them and explaining how to apply them. In certain cases, the words can have different meanings, depending on the culture that welcomes it, a clear example of this is the word "Floor" in Venezuela refers to the floor covered with a layer of cement or tile, but in other countries as Argentina, “Piso” defines a room or small studio apartment in a building in the center of the city.
Etymology is also responsible for the control and discipline of idioms, which are nothing more than deformations of clear and understandable language for the purpose of comfort or laziness. There are countries where the language has been so damaged that sometimes it is a bit cumbersome to translate a sentence, thanks to the idiom used. The custom and fashion of inventing new words to serve as an anchor for a song has wreaked havoc on the language in recent years.
El estudio de la etimología es muy importante en materias en las que se busca la mejor comprensión de textos, el conocimiento adquirido al estudiar la procedencia de una palabra es tan sutil. Que la simple representación de una idea puede generar más concepto y estructura a las causas a las que se les busca consecuencias.
