One of the most interesting of all studies is the study of words and word origins. Each language is【C1】______ of several earlier languages and the words of a language can sometimes be traced back through two or three different languages to their【C2】______. Again a word from one language may pass into other languages and develop a new meaning.
The word "etiquette," which is of French origin and originally meant a label, or a sign, passed into Spanish and kept its original meaning. So in Spanish the word "etiquette" today is used to 【C3】______ the small tags which a store【C4】______ to a suit, a dress or a bottle. The word "etiquette" in French, however, gradually developed a different meaning. It later became the custom to write【C5】______ on small cards, or "etiquette", as to how visitors should dress themselves and act during an important ceremony at the royal court. Thus the word "etiquette" began to indicate a system of correct【C6】______ for people to follow. With this meaning, the word passed into English.
Consider the word "breakfast". "To fast" is to go for some period of time without eating. Thus in the morning after many hours during the night without food, one【C7】______ one’s fast.
Consider the everyday English【C8】______ "Good-bye". Many many years ago, people would say to each other on【C9】______ "God be with you." As this was repeated over and over millions of times, it gradually became【C10】______ to "Good-bye". [br] 【C8】
