The study of word origins and changes in language over time is called etymology.
Etymology tracks the origins of a certain word, to the first time it was used, and explores its original meaning, contrasts it with today's meaning, etc. For example, the word lunar refers to the Moon, but comes from the Latin word luna, which means Moon.
