Discussion
Science relating to the formation and development of words is called __________ .
Answer: C
The science is called Etymology.
Etymology studies the origin of words and how their forms and meanings have developed over time; for example, salary goes back to the Latin salarium, connected with salt.
Tautology is needless repetition of the same idea in different words. Lithology is the study of the physical character of rocks. Phonology is the study of the sound system of a language. None of them deals with the history of words.
