About Motion
Terminology
Mechanics originates from Machine.
Machine comes from the word *megh- (*megh means “to be able”).
Metre originates from Metron.
Metron comes from the word *meh_1 + tron (from *trom) (*meh_1 means “to measure”).
Motion originates from Motio.
Motio comes from the word *mowetjō, which is similar to moveo + teo .
Moveo comes from the word *moweō, which comes from *m(y)ewh_1 (*m(y)ewh_1 means “to move”).
So “motion” comes from “move”, “metre” comes from “to measure” and “mechanics” comes from “ability”.
Result
- Laws of Motion can be understood as “Laws of Moving Bodies”
- Mechanics can be understood as “Abilities of Bodies”
- Physics can be understood as the “Study of Things”
- Quantum Physics can be understood as “Study of Particles”
- Quantum Mechanics can be understood as “Abilities of Particles”
