براستي در يك كلمه چه مي گذرد ؟! http://pnu-club.com/imported/2011/12/65.gifريشه شناسي يا اتيمولوژي به معناي شناسايي و رديابي تاريخچه و منشا يك كلمه است . اين كار يا با ارائه خواستگاه كلمه و يا با تجزيه كلمه به ريشه پيش وند و پس وند آن صورت مي گيرد .What is EtymologyThe word etymology is derived from the Greek etumos which means real or true. The ending ology suggests the study/science of something, as in biology or geology. And that is the etymology of etymology. It is the study of the origins of words; how they evolved. Confused?
Here is another example. The Ancient Greek word hippos means horse. And potamus means river. Hence hippopotamus literally means river horse.
A few other parts of words derived from Ancient Greek are tele (long distance), micro (small), phone (speak), and scope (look). From these come such words as telephone, telescope, microphone, and microscope.
Of course not all words are derived from Ancient Greek. The English language is a rich mixture of many languages, and that is what makes its etymology so interesting. In the Interesting Etymology (http://www.fun-with-words.com/etym_example.html) section you can learn how many words came about, particularly those with amusing origins. We also have a page about the origins of sayings and expressions (http://www.fun-with-words.com/etym_phrases.html).

The Ancient Greek word hippos means horse. And potamus means river. Hence hippopotamus literally means river horse.ريشه شناسي عبارات و اصطلاحات To make hay while the sun shinesto take advantage of favorable circumstances; they may not last. This old expression refers to the production of hay, or dried grass. The warmth of the sun is required to dry the grass and turn it into hay. As the sun is notoriously unpredictable (it may be cloudy later) the message of this aphorism is clear. The expression dates back many centuries, and has changed little in form. John Heywood included the following in his "All the Prouerbes in the Englishe Tongue" (1546):
Hazard
n. Danger; vb. To risk or expose to danger. This term evolved from the Arabic al zahr, which means the dice. In Western Europe the term came to be associated with a number of games using dice, which were learned during the Crusades whilst in the Holy Land. The term eventually took on the connotation of danger because, from very early on, games using dice were associated with the risky business of gambling and con artists using corrupted dice.
