The word sociology (or sociologie) is derived from the Latin: socius, companion; and-ology, the study of, resulting in the study of companionship.

Leading etymologists believe that nigger was derived from an English word neger that was itself derived from Negro, the Spanish word for black. Precisely when the term became a slur is unknown. We do know, however, that by early in the 19th century nigger had already become a familiar insult. The term has been put to other uses. Some blacks, for instance, use nigger among themselves as a term of endearment. But that is typically done with a sense of irony that is predicated upon an understanding of the terms racist origins and a close relationship with the person to whom the term is uttered.
