🎤Pronunciation
🌳Etymology
Origin
Research derives from Old French 'rechercher' (to search again), combining the prefix 're-' (again) with 'search' (from Old Norse 'søkja', to seek). Fellow originates from Middle English 'felawe', borrowed from Old Norse 'félagi' (partner, associate), originally meaning a person who shares fees or partnership.
Breakdown
Research: re- (again) + search (seek, from Old Norse søkja). Fellow: from Old Norse félagi (fee-sharer), combining fé (fee/money) + lag (sharing/laying together).
