	Merriam-Webster Online
		An etymologist, a specialist in the study of etymology, must know a good deal about the history of English and also about the relationships of sound and meaning and their changes over time that underline the reconstruction of the Indo-European language family.
		An etymologist tracing the history of a dictionary entry must review the etymologies at existing main entries and prepare such etymologies as are required for the main entries being added to the new edition.
		In writing new etymologies, the etymologist must, of course, be alive to the possible languages from which a new term may have been created or borrowed, and must be prepared to research and analyze a wide range of documented evidence and published sources in tracing a word's history.

		These are vastly underrated entities, each harboring a rich chronicle of past usage to which we remain mostly oblivious as we converse and read and stare at the tube.
		But when you take a step back from any given word, its layers are easily revealed, thanks to hard-working etymologists engaged in the archeology of language.
		Of course, etymologists are a timid bunch, hesitant to make connections that are, frankly, damned obvious.

		This is the study of the origins of words.
		More precisely, the etymologist looks at where a word comes from, how it evolved in form and meaning, what core elements it contains, its earliest known use, and how it is related to other words in its own or other languages (cognates).
		To begin with, English is one of the most complex languages in the world etymologically since it contains words from a vast number of languages.

		The current edition of the dictionary dates the word software back to 1960, though researchers have discovered an 1850 occurrence of the term in a very different context—for distinguishing two types of garbage, where "soft-ware" referred to matter that would decompose and "hard-ware" to anything else.
		An etymologist has now found that use of the term software to describe computer programs dates back to 1958 and first appeared in a mathematics journal.
		Librarian Fred R. Shapiro of the Yale Law School in New Haven, Conn., searched for the word among scholarly journals electronically archived in the JSTOR (Journal STORage) database at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

	Objections from an etymologist
		But, buoyed by the reflection that Nietzsche, too, was a philologist (making me guilty by association), and by the fact that the misuse of the word "chauvinist" was repeated for the third issue in a row in the October 2 Concourse, I will ply my trade as etymologist.
		It is quite likely that the feminist skewing of the word from its original meaning will stand, and that its original meaning is already an archaism (as are Nietzsche and I).
