Where Do Words Come From?

We freely admit that we are word-loving word-nerds at Together, so we had a lot of fun on this TED-Ed about the origins of words, and how new words make it into English, and other languages. The educator, Marcel Danesi, is a Professor of Semiotics and Linguistic Anthropology at the University of Toronto.
