metaphysician's interest in the meaning of language is different from that of the etymologist. The etymology of a word, St. Thomas writes, differs from its meaning. For its etymology depends on what it is taken from for the purpose of signification, whereas its meaning depends on the thing to which it is applied for the purpose of signifying it. Now these differ sometimes: for lapis (a stone) takes its name from hurting the foot (laedere pedum), but this is not its meaning; otherwise iron, since it hurts the foot, would be a stone.'
