I.--ELEMENTS OF THE ENGLISH VOCABULARY.

1. ETYMOLOGY[2] is the study which treats of the derivation of words,--that

words.

3. The VOCABULARY[3] of a language is the whole body of words in that
language. Hence the English vocabulary consists of all the words in the
English language.

I. The complete study of any language comprises two distinct
inquiries,--the study of the _grammar_ of the language, and the study
of its _vocabulary_. Word-analysis has to do exclusively with the
vocabulary.

II. The term "etymology" as used in grammar must be carefully
distinguished from "etymology" in the sense of word-analysis.
Grammatical etymology treats solely of the grammatical changes in
words, and does not concern itself with their derivation; historical
etymology treats of the structure, composition, and history of words.
Thus the relation of _loves, loving, loved_ to the verb _love_ is a
matter of grammatical etymology; but the relation of _lover, lovely_,
or _loveliness_ to _love_ is a matter of historical etymology.
