Is etymology the study of origin or words?

Yes, you are correct! Etymology is the study of the origin of words.

It delves into:

* The history of words: How they came into being, how they evolved over time, and how their meanings have changed.

* The sources of words: Where they came from, whether from other languages, from specific cultures, or from scientific discoveries.

* The relationship between words: How words are related to each other through shared origins or meaning.

Essentially, etymology helps us understand the fascinating story behind the words we use every day!
