PART II.

ETYMOLOGY.

REMARK 1.-In Pars I. we have considered by analysis,

1. The Structure of Sentences and of Phrases.
2. The Elements which compose a Sentence or a Phrase.
3. The Classification of Sentences and of Phrases.

4. The Analysis of Sentences-Proximate and Ultimate. Rem. 2.-In our progress through Part I. we have seen, 1. That the Proximate Analysis of a Sentence consists in resclving

it into its immediate Constituent Elements. 2. That the Ultimate Analysis of a Sentence consists in reducing

its Proximate Elements to the Words which compose them. REM. 3.- We have next to consider the history of Words—considered as ultimate Elements of Sentences—including 1. Their Formation.

3. Their Classifications. 2. Their Functions.

4. Their Modifications. PRIN.—The Science of Language embraces, 1. ORTHOGRAPHY-which treats of the Structure

and Form of Words. 2. ETYMOLOGY—which treats of the Classification

and Modification of Words. 3. SYNTAX—which treats of the Relation and mu

tual Dependence of Words. 4. PROSODY-which treats of the Arringement and

Utterance of Words. REM. -A true system of Analysis requires that the Functions of Words be discussed previous to the consideration of their Elements. Hence we have placed ORTIOGRAPHY in the Appendix to this work.

CLASSIFICATION AND MODIFICATION OF WORDS.

PRIN.-- Words are distinguished by their Forms and by their Uses.

I. THE FORMS OF WORDS.
PRIN.—By their forms, Words are distinguished as

Radical or Derivative,

Simple or Compound. DEF. 52.-A Radical Word is a word that does not derive its original from another word in the same language.

EXAMPLES. —Sun-cloud-rose-friend-chief-swift-just-sell.

DEF. 53.--A Derivative Word is a word derived from a Radical by prefixing or adding one or more letters to it.

EXAMPLES.-Sunny-swiftly—cloudy-sinful-selling-unconsciousroseate-friendly-justify-chieftain.

OBS.—A Word that is Radical in the English language, may be a Derivative in the language from which it comes.

EXAMPLES.---Conscience-optics-algebra-philosophy-signify.

DEF. 54.--A Simple Word is a word that is used separately from another word.

EXAMPLES.—Have — brightly-freedom – parlor — music-studytimes-patience-loved-cottage-peace-cold.

DEF. 55.-A Compound Word is a word that is made of two or more words combined.

EXAMPLES. — Star-light-household-words-ruse-bud-steam-enginepencil-case-never the-less-moon-beam-rail-road.

OBs. — The parts of a Compound Word are printed as one word without space between them, or they are joined by a short horizontal line (-) called a hyphen. EXAMPLES (without the hyphen.)–Overlay-underwrite-withstand

sometimes-nevertheless. (with the hyphen)-- Ilour-glass-warm-hearted-praisoyarthy,
