Etymology — It’s not about bugs

The reason that I write about this now is that I recently came across a couple of interesting sites on the subject.
- Online Etymology Dictionary: Exactly what it sounds like — a index of words with their origins.
- AskOxford.com: A collection of articles by the people behind the famous dictionary
