Get the entomology mug.An etymologist is a person who studies etymology.
Etymology is an account of the history of a particular word or element of a word.
Through old texts and comparisons with other languages, etymologists try to reconstruct the history of words — when they entered a language, from what source, and how their form and meaning changed.
An Etymologist is different then a philologist, one who studies linguistics and etymology.
Beware, those who are nescient often misuse and mispronounce'entymology' which is actually the study of insects!

Get the etymologist mug.A word made up by people who don't know the difference between etymology (the study of word origins) and entomology (the study of insects).
u/etymologynerd single-handedly destroyed the r/entymology subreddit last year by pointing out that it's not a word.

Get the Entymology mug.The very serious study of emos and scenesters. The Ministry of Emocology dedicates itself not so much to the preservation of emos, but rather to the protection of the outside world. The Ministry of Emocology recently began serious work on the overpopulation problem of emos in the World of Emo forum at LivingWithStyle.com. Emo hunting licenses have been doled out for a nominal fake internet money fee. Those caught poaching without a license are dealt with seriously.
"Dude, the Ministry of Emocology says that emos are a threat hotter than global warming and more suicidal than al Qaeda!"
