Word Radicals: Etymology

Word origins & their journeys

Features & Capabilities

Ever wonder where English words really come from?

WordLookup traces any English word back through history to its Latin, Greek, Old English, French, Germanic, Sanskrit, and Arabic origins. See the full etymology chain — every language a word passed through on its way into modern English.

Search for "compel" and watch it unfold: borrowed from Latin compellere, itself from com- ("together") + pellere ("to drive"). Search "philosophy" and trace it from Greek philosophia — philos ("loving") + sophia ("wisdom").
