Summary of Etimolohiya ng Salita [FILIPINO 9]

Main Ideas

• Definition of Etymology:

  Etymology combines two Greek words: "Eton" (meaning) and "logos" (study), which together define it as the study of the history and origin of words and their changing meanings over time.

• Importance of Etymology:

  Understanding the history of words enhances communication and helps users grasp the true contributions of words in various contexts.

• Methods of Word Formation:

  The video categorizes the Etymology of words into three main methods:

  • Borrowing:
    • Direct Borrowing: Adapting foreign words with slight modifications, e.g., "calendario" (Spanish) becomes "kalendaryo" in Filipino.
    • Complete Borrowing: Using foreign words entirely without changes, often for terms lacking direct Filipino equivalents, e.g., "internet," "hamburger."
  • Combination of Words or Syllables:

    New words are formed by combining existing words or syllables, creating new meanings. Examples include:

    • "teleradio" (tele + radio)
    • "Tagalog" (taga + ilog)
    • "metaphor" derived from a phrase related to mystery.
  • Morphological Origin:

    This method involves altering the root word through the addition of suffixes to change meanings. Examples include:

    • "Ganda" (beauty) becomes "gandahan" (to beautify) or "ginanda" (made beautiful).
