Tech Tip: Google Define and Etymology Look-Up

I hate to admit it, but I am someone who is horrible at both spelling and definitions. That is what originally led me to want to check out this tech tip. So often when I try to google word definitions it will take me straight to their wikipedia page, which frustrates me as I was looking for the definition, not the whole history of the word. You can also find the history and root of a word through this trick.

Below you can see where I used this tip. I typed in etymology and then the word I was curious about, and I chose 'epic.' You know because of Indian Epics! ;) So I was able to find where this word came from by typing in etymology before the word I was curious about. This is such a cool and useful tip!
