[NWERC 2024] Evolving Etymology
题目描述
Eelco has recently started to gain interest in the field that studies the origin of words: etymology. He especially likes how words can evolve in many different ways: pronunciation changes over time, words are borrowed from different languages, and the meaning of words can change based on culture. Eelco is eager to attend the Networking With Etymologists: Revolutionary Conference for the first time ever. To make a good first impression, he is going to present a completely new method to make new words from existing words.
