Etymologic! is the toughest etymology (word origin) game on the app store.
In this etymology game youll be presented with 10 randomly selected etymology (word origin) or word definition puzzles to solve; in each case the word or phrase is highlighted in bold, and a number of possib
le answers will be presented. You need to choose the correct answer to score a point for that question. Beware! The false answers will often also seem quite plausible, and some of the true answers are hard to believe, but we have doc
umentation!
Oh, and in case youre wondering, the word etymology comes from the Greek word etymos, which means real, or true, and the -ology ending indicates that its the study of, or science of. Put them together and you get the study or sci
ence of the real or true. Impressive, eh?
