Etymology, BC IV. century appeared. It was carried out by Greek and Latin linguists in the form of an investigation of the truth of existence of a word.

This was because it was believed that there was a natural relationship between what the word showed and the word. However, this belief was destroyed by the fact that human communities named the same object in different words and places in different words.
