Being An Etymologist

Word Origins (etymology) is embedded in the Australian Curriculum. Not only is it an essential part of a student's literacy development, it can also be a fun area of learning as it asks students to be part detective, part historian, part puzzle-solver!

The etymologist tracks down words to find out where they began – often with surprising discoveries!

This colourful poster would look great in any classroom!

The Word Orgins poster, clearly shows the five main sources of Australian English:

1. Old English
2. French
3. Latin and Greek
4. Words from the british empire and beyond
5. Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander words
