I have been fascinated about the origins of words, also known as etymology, for years. In this video I share the interesting stories of where some words come from. Some of these are very simple but very old, such as water and star, while others are more modern with interesting, circuituous routes, such as anime, Wolverhampton, and the integral sign.

This is a vlog about etymology, the study of where words come from. I talk about PIE proto-indo-european and proto-germanic, the ancestor language of modern European languages such as German, English, Danish, and Dutch, but also languages further afield such as Urdu, Gujarati, and Russian. In this interesting video I talk about where these words come from, the origins of words, and how languages change over time. If you like videos by Mental Floss, John Green, Hank Green, Crash Course, or CGPGrey you will enjoy this interesting video about languages.
