Etymology is the study of the origin and development of words. Therefore, the answer is option B. False. Etymology is reflected in the spelling of the word. Most or all of the words are formed based on their origins and in time, it is developed into a new word. For example, the word "picture". It comes from the Latin word "pictura" meaning painted.
