Epistemology
The word "epistemology" is derived from the ancient Greek "epistēmē" meaning "knowledge" and the suffix "-logy", meaning "logical discourse" (derived from the Greek word "logos" meaning "discourse"). It is analogue to the German "Wissenschaftslehre" (literally, theory of science) which was introduced by philosophers Johann Fichte and Bernard Bolzano in the late 18th century. The word first appeared in English in 1847 as a translation of the German in New York's "Eclectic Magazine" review of a philosophical novel by German author Jean Paul:
Echomimetic
Echomimetic is an adjective that is best explained in English by the term "onomatopoeic". This is derived from onomatopoeia, which is used in philology and literature and in the explanation of the origin of words in dictionaries. In modern Greek lexicography, the term onomatopoeia is virtually non-existent and the words of which the etymology it describes are almost always designated as echomimetic. However, the "echo" of echomimetic is different from the "echo" of echolalia. The "echo" of echolalia comes from Greek "ἠχώ", which is the source for the modern English word echo, the two words being synonymous; while the "echo" of echomimetic comes from Greek "ἦχος" which means "sound". Mimetic comes from Greek "μιμητικός", meaning "imitating". In German philology the term "lautmalend" is used instead of echomimetic or onomatopoeic. It derives from German "Laut", "sound" and "malen" "to paint" (as in art). The word "Echomimie" in German designates a psychiatric phenomenon akin to echolalia where gestures and grimaces substitute for the voice. In French, the word "onomatopée" is used for onomatopoeia. Examples of echomimetic words in English are "bow wow", "miaow", "squeak", "hoo wee", and "squeal".
