The correct answer is "a word’s origin and how its meanings have changed over time." Etymology is the study of the origin of words, including their historical development and how their meanings and forms have evolved over time. To determine the correct answer, one can use various resources such as dictionaries, linguistic textbooks, or online etymology databases that provide information about word origins and changes in meaning. These resources can help trace the history of a word and understand its etymology.
