		Despite the etymological connection with stooping under a burden on one's back, a hawker is technically distinguished from a peddler by use of a horse and cart or a van.
		Phrase in order to (1655) preserves etymological notion of "sequence." The word reflects a very medieval notion: "a system of parts subject to certain uniform, established ranks or proportions," and was used of everything from architecture to angels.
		The etymological sense is "that which covers the members of the body." Meaning "thin layer of skin, tissue covering a limb or organ" is attested from 1601.

		Etymological databases can also be used (and are used) for a statistical evaluation of taxonomic correlations.
		The number of etymological matches between languages is a good measure of the distance between them, and can also be employed for evaluating the time depth of any linguistic family.
		The ideal etymological database system should be able to provide etymology for any word of any modern or ancient language, tracing its origin as far as possible.

	Iranica.com - ITALY
		To date, etymological studies in Iranian languages have worked to isolate the indigenous vocabulary of a language from the historical layers of loanwords (whether Iranian or foreign in origin) and foreign usages.
		Whether or not to include foreign usages in etymological dictionaries is a theoretical issue with the greatest practical implications for Balochi lexicography.
		A preliminary outline, titled Concise Etymological Balochi Vocabulary will contain the 1,500 principal lexical bases of the central core of the three main areal variants; it will be published shortly as a joint effort of IUO and Trieste University.

	Phenomenology Online: etymological reflection
		Of course, retrieving or recalling the meaning of caring is not a matter of simple etymological analysis or explication of the usage of the word.
		Rather, it is the reconstruction of a way of life: a willingness to live the language of our lives more deeply, to become more truly who we are when we refer to ourselves, for example, as teachers or parents.
		Being attentive to the etymological origins of words may sometimes put us in touch with an original form of life where the terms still had living ties to the lived experiences from which they originally sprang.

		The word "news" comes from a special use of the plural of the word "new", and not as the common backronym claims, from the four cardinal directions (North, East, West, and South).
		Old spellings of the word varied widey—newesse, newis, nevis, neus, newys, niewes, newis, nues, etc—casting further doubt on the popular etymological theory.
		A news junkie is a term for a person who likes to keep up to date with the latest news, perhaps compulsively.

	Romanian Etymological Dictionary-Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Etymological dictionaries of modern balkanic languages are a good intrument in studying old languages of this area.
		The Etymological Dictionary of the Romanian which I present here is not a complete traditional etymological dictionary, since we are interested here only in the oldest layer of the Romanian vocabulary.
		At the end, let me make a recommendation: when browsing Romanian lexic for ancient comparisons, the best practice is to use an etymologic dictionary and to interpretate its data conformly to the Romanian evolutive phonetic laws (which, I hope, you will soon find on my site too).

		By genre, therefore, the volume is an etymological commentary, and a model of that.
		But at the end of the day, there will never be enough evidence to persuade skeptics about "guarantees of authenticity" or safeguard ourselves completely from "the danger not only of being fooled by coincidence, but of building complex interpretations on a foundation made of sand" (103).
		Part of the difficulty is the false dichotomy of the poetic and thematic aspects or the pleasurable and serious aesthetics continued by the metaphors in our terms "wordplay" and "etymology", which embed the problem in the critical vocabulary.

		The multi-volume Etymological Dictionary of Egyptian by GÃ¡bor TakÃ¡cs "promises to open a new chapter in Egyptian and Afro-Asiatic comparative lingustics" (A. Dolgopolsky, in Israel Oriental Studies).
		This second volume is in fact the first volume of the very etymological dictionary.
		The reader will find the etymological entries even more detailed than those of the introductory volume, due to the full retrospective presentation of all etymologies proposed since A. Erman's time, and thanks to an extremely detailed discussion of all possible relevant data even on the less known Afro-Asiatic cognates to the Egyptian roots.

		An answer to that question was attempted as early as 1907 by L. Bastien's Nine Language Etymological Lexicon (Naŭlingva etimologia leksikono), which set out to show the international basis for Esperanto words, but said nothing about the ancient origins of the roots, which gave rise to their Esperanto form.
		In this sense the term "etymological" was misleading but at the time and in that context this was not important.
		Another etymological dictionary, aimed mainly at a Japanese readership, is Yamasaki's, which has far more words than Vilborg's, but often links Esperanto words only to English ones, as if Zamenhof had actually taken them from English, while in fact English has taken them from the same sources as Zamenhof.

	Responses to Shibli Zaman: Zaman on Etymology [Revisited]
		In my original article I explained the nature of an "etymological fallacy", gave plenty of examples for illustration, and then discussed several instances of this fallacy as committed by Zaman in his publications.
		The concept of an etymological fallacy was explained and discussed at great length in the first part, and is now assumed as understood.
		The etymological fallacy is assuming that the root meaning of a word is to be used in exegesis — despite the fact that the so called ‘root meaning’ was not in the mind of the user (writer or speaker) of the word.

Starostin on the basis of Burrow and Emeneau's Dravidian Etymological Dictionary, and by now includes a Common Dravidian database, branching to several daughter databases: Nilgiri (Kota-Toda), Telugu, Kolami-Gadba, Gondwan (further branching into Gondi, Konda, Pengo-Manda and Kui-Kuwi databases), North Dravidian (Kurukh-Malto) and Brahui.

		My thesis is a criticisms of the etymological argument for an ontological presupposition of essences beyond the observable real world that seem necessarily implied in forwarding etymology as a means to formulate and justify definitions of key-terms.
		The criticism of essentialism used is the German-Englishman Karl Popper′s forwarded in The Open Society which is published, in English, at the end of the second world war in criticism of the European totalitarian political excesses at that time.
		The minimal-strategy, then, is to arrive at the possibility of identifying two distinct types of the etymological argument, a real and a nominal variant.

		The third important thing we notice about Donnegan's definition is that although he had the courage and intelligence to realize that his predecessors were wrong about the origin of this Greek word, still he failed to omit their definitions.

I was very impressed by his ability to identify and interpret the nuances of meaning within the historical context, and also of his profound understanding of linguistics.
