Etymological theory recognizes that words originate through a limited number of basic mechanisms, the most important of which are language change, borrowing ( i . e ., the adoption of " loanwords " from other languages ); word formation such as compounding; and onomatopoeia and sound symbolism, ( i . e ., the creation of imitative words such as " click " or " grunt " ).
