Welcome to the Etymology Task Force! This task force is a part of WikiProject Linguistics, and is aimed at improving Wikipedia's coverage of etymology. The scope of this task force includes articles about etymology itself and related topics (e.g. etymology, loanword), articles about the origins of particular words (e.g. List of U.S. state name etymologies, names of the Greeks), and etymology sections within articles on other topics (e.g. Ginkgo biloba#Etymology).
