Answers:
Language is so fluid and dynamic that there is no way to find out where every word came from. Many from older languages (Romantic and Germanic in English), some individuals just make them up (Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll), some formed from others over time..

there are two competing views on the origins of language.
Selectionist view (Darwinian natural selection is used to explain a large proportion of evolutionary changes in species, including the origin of grammar, and even all of language).
Exaptationist view: (Parts of language were exapted from cognitive structures that our pre-human ancestors used for food gathering, rule learning, tool making, hunting, etc.)Health Question & Answer
