For example, one does not call "publicize'"either a 'synonym' or
an 'etymology' of the English word "public". Nevertheless, the
two words are related. Studying the history of how public and
publicize developed within English and from Latin is
called 'etymology' the study of the origin/source of a word/s. The
specific development of 'publicize' from 'public' within English is
called 'derivational morphology'. The forms "[She] publicized"
and "publicizes" are called inflectional morphology.
