Etymology is often said to be the final resting place for dead metaphors, figurative uses of language that we no longer consciously recognize as figurative.

is the idea that a word never wholly discards its past meanings. They are involved in the current meaning of the word : He draws attention to potentialities for their further development implicit in their past, and thus also their present meanings.

Moreover, Hegel believes, just as a result always contains the process that led up to it, so a word never wholly discards its past meanings... they are invariably involved in the current meaning of the word. He does not believe, however, that a word's earlier senses or original meaning are superior to its later ones. Such a belief would be wholly at odds with his view that the ESSENCE of a thing lies in its fully developed state rather than its initial state, in the oak tree rather than the acorn. Thus he conceives himself to be developing and perfecting language rather than restoring its beginnings. But to do this often requires an examination of its earlier states. Thus when he suggests (in both cases mistakenly) that Urteil means 'original division' (Ur-teil) or wahrnehmen ('to perceive') means 'to take truly, in truth' (wahr-nehmen), he is not attempting to recapture the original senses of these words, but drawing attention to potentialities for their further development implicit in their past, and thus also their present, meanings. That he often neglects the etymology of a word (e.g. Moralität) suggests that etymology concerns him only when it indicates a potentiality, which he wants to develop for philosophical rather than etymological reasons.
