Etymology
Etymology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time. By an extension, the term "etymology (of a word)" means the origin of a particular word.
For languages with a long written history, etymologists make use of texts in these languages and texts about the languages to gather knowledge about how words were used during earlier periods of their history and when they entered the languages in question.

Examples of etymology
• Whiskey 1715, from Gaelic uisge beatha "whisky," lit. "water of life," from Old Irish. uisce "water" + bethad " of life.“
• Muscle Latin musculus "a muscle," lit. "little mouse," dim. of mus "mouse" So called because the shape and movement of some muscles (notably biceps) were thought to resemble mice.
• Molasses (Portuguese melaços, from Late Latin mellceum, from Latin mel, "honey")
• Honeymoon: The term 'honeymoon' first originated in Babylon, about 4,000 years ago. Honeymoon came into use for the month after a wedding, when the bride's father would give the groom all the mead he wanted. Mead is actually a honey beer, and being so, the Babylon's calendar was a lunar calendar, which is based off the moon. They then started to call that month, the 'honey month', which we now have adapted to be honeymoon.

DialectThe term dialect is used in two distinct ways, even by linguists. One usage refers to a variety of a language that is a characteristic of a particular group of the language's speakers. The term is applied most often to regional speech patterns, but a dialect may also be defined by other factors, such as social class. A dialect that is associated with a particular social class can be termed a sociolect; a regional dialect may be termed a regiolect or topolect.

Pragmatics• It is a subfield of linguistics
• it studies the ways in which context contributes to meaning.
• It depends not only on the linguistic knowledge (e.g. grammar,
lexicon etc.) of the speaker and listener, but also on the context of
the utterance, knowledge about the status of those involved, the
inferred intent of the speaker, and so on.
• The ability to understand another speaker's intended meaning is
called pragmatic competence. It often comes only through
experience.
