Linguist Answers Word Origin Questions | Tech Support | WIRED Linguist Gareth Roberts joins WIRED to answer the internet's burning questions about the etymologies of English words. How did the first languages first form? Was there once a single common language that all the others evolved from? When were swear words invented? Have words like "dude" and "bro" become gender neutral? Who came up with the word poop? Is "unalived" a real word now? Answers to all of these questions and plenty more await on Etymology Support. 0:00 Etymology Support 0:14 Etymologies rock 1:05 Gender neutral dude bros 2:50 Silent letters: Why? 3:47 “Unalived” 4:55 Grimm's Law 5:57 %^*&*%!!! 6:47 Making up new words 8:41 How did each language form? 12:05 What was there before we had language? 14:06 Orange 14:47 💩 15:09 Fall into Autumn 15:54 Did we ruin demure? 16:35 New Slang 18:00 NO 18:34 The Great Vowel Shift 19:51 Shakespeare! 20:34 Why did we stop saying 'thee' and ‘thou?’ 21:57 …..word? 22:21 Pregnant: Origins 23:25 Doggos Director: Anna O'Donohue Director of Photography: Caleb Weiss Editor: Richard Trammell Expert: Gareth Roberts Line Producer: Joseph Buscemi Associate Producer: Brandon White Production Manager: Peter Brunette Production Coordinator: Rhyan Lark Casting Producer: Nicholas Sawyer Camera Operator: Christopher Eustache Sound Mixer: Sean Paulsen Production Assistant: Sonia Butt Post Production Supervisor: Christian Olguin Post Production Coordinator: Ian Bryant Supervising Editor: Doug Larsen Additiona
