I am once again amazed at the youtube algorithm - I got this in my feed over the weekend. Sometimes it is a video about speaking Texas German or something and my Father, who lives far away, will tell me he got the same video in his feed.

I’ve been following this channel off and on for some time. Interesting stuff there! Thanks for posting this one - new to me.

In most Germanic languages other than English, the world for dog is "hund". We have that word too as "hound". But nobody anywhere has anything similar to "dog".

What is the etymology of the word etymology?
-
“Etymology” derives from the Greek word etumos, meaning “true.”
Etumologia was the study of the “true meanings” of words.
This evolved into “etymology” by way of the Old French ethimologie.
That’s all fairly straightforward, but there are many, many words
in the English language that have unexpected and fascinating origins.

Dog is simply God spelled backwards.

How about "liberry" and "probaly"?

I just asked AI about the origins of dog, and this is what it had to say:

The English word "dog" originated from the Old English word "docga," which referred to a specific breed of dog. Its exact origins are unclear, but it eventually replaced the Old English word "hund" as the general term for dogs by the 16th century.

Old English for a type of mastiff I guess.
