        ## Intro
        
        Recently, [@jmsv](https://github.com/jmsv) and [@parker57](https://github.com/parker57) started a side project to analyse etymologies of text written by various historical authors, expecting there to already be a library for retrieving etymology data. On discovering that this wasn't the case, [ety](https://github.com/jmsv/ety-python) was created!
        
        There isn't a single source of truth for etymologies; words' origins can be heavily disputed. This package's source data, Gerard de Melo's [Etymological Wordnet](http://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/~demelo/etymwn/), is mostly mined from Wiktionary. Since this is a collaboratively edited dictionary, its data could be seen as the closest we can get to a public consensus
        
        ## Install
        
        ### [pip](https://pypi.org/project/ety)
        
        ```bash
        pip install ety
        ```
        
        ### Development
        
        In a virtual environment - [Pipenv](https://docs.pipenv.org) is recommended:
        
        ```bash
        python setup.py install
        ```
        
        ## Usage
        
        ### Module
        
        ```python
        >>> import ety
        
        >>> ety.origins("potato")
        [Word(batata, language=Taino)]
        
        >>> ety.origins('drink', recursive=True)
        [Word(drync, language=Old English (ca. 450-1100)), Word(drinken, language=Middle English (1100-1500)), Word(drincan, language=Old English (ca. 450-1100))]
        
        >>> print(ety.tree('aerodynamically'))
        aerodynamically (English)
        ├── -ally (English)
        └── aerodynamic (English)
            ├── aero- (English)
            │   └── ἀήρ (Ancient Greek (to 1453))
            └── dynamic (English)
                └── dynamique (French)
                    └── δυναμικός (Ancient Greek (to 1453))
                        └── δύναμις (Ancient Greek (to 1453))
                            └── δύναμαι (Ancient Greek (to 1453))
        ```
        
        ### CLI
        
        After installing, a command-line tool is also available. `ety -h` outputs the following help text describing arguments:
        
        ```
        usage: ety [-h] [-r] [-t] words [words ...]
        
        positional arguments:
          words            the search word(s)
        
        optional arguments:
          -h, --help       show this help message and exit
          -r, --recursive  search origins recursively
          -t, --tree       display etymology tree
        ```
        
        #### Examples
        
        ```bash
        $ ety drink
        drink   # List direct origins
         • drync (Old English (ca. 450-1100))
         • drinken (Middle English (1100-1500))
        
        $ ety drink -r   # Recursive search
        drink 
         • drync (Old English (ca. 450-1100))
         • drinken (Middle English (1100-1500))
         • drincan (Old English (ca. 450-1100))
        
        $ ety drink -t   # Etymology tree
        drink (English)
        ├── drinken (Middle English (1100-1500))
        │   └── drincan (Old English (ca. 450-1100))
        └── drync (Old English (ca. 450-1100))
        ```
