| - The name India is derived from Indus, which is derived from the Old Persian word Hindu, from Sanskrit Sindhu (सिन्धु), the historic local appellation for the Indus River. The ancient Greeks referred to the Indians as Indoi (Ινδοί), the people of the Indus. The Constitution of India and usage in many Indian languages also recognises Bharat as an official name of equal status. The name Bharat is derived from the name of the legendary king Bharata in Hindu scriptures. Hindustan, originally a Persian word for "Land of the Hindus" and referring to North India and Pakistan before 1947, is also occasionally used as a synonym for all of India.

- The etymology of the term sabotage is rooted to the word sabot, where during the 19th century, in France, workers threatened by automation flung their sabot into their machinery, thus sabotaging them and thereby preventing them from working properly.

| - The etymology of the term sabotage is rooted to the word sabot, where during the 19th century, in France, workers threatened by automation flung their sabot into their machinery, thus sabotaging them and thereby preventing them from working properly. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) During a discussion between Data and Orton during a party on the Arkaria Base in 2369, Data noted that there were several cultures in the sector that had similar etymological histories to Arkaria. (TNG: "Starship Mine" ) In the anti-time past timeline, prior to the launch of the USS Enterprise-D, Data asked Miles O'Brien about the etymology of the idiom "burning the midnight oil", and how it came into use in contemporary language. O'Brien did not have the answer. (TNG: "All Good Things..." ) Posing as Wendell Greer, Luther Sloan claimed that etymology was a hobby of his. He demonstrated his knowledge by giving the origins of the phrase "never say die", describing its origin as a 19th century poem based on The Merchant of Venice.(DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")

- One of the ancient Egyptian names of the country, Kemet (kṃt), or "black land" (from kem "black"), is derived from the fertile black soils deposited by the Nile floods, distinct from the deshret, or "red land" (dšṛt), of the desert. The name is realized as kīmi and kīmə in the Coptic stage of the Egyptian language, and appeared in early Greek as Χημία (Khēmía). Another name was t3-mry "land of the riverbank". The names of Upper and Lower Egypt were Ta-Sheme'aw (t3-šmˁw) "sedgeland" and Ta-Mehew (t3 mḥw) "northland", respectively. Miṣr, the Arabic and modern official name of Egypt (Egyptian Arabic: Maṣr), is of Semitic origin, directly cognate with other Semitic words for Egypt such as the Hebrew מִצְרַיִם (Mitzráyim), literally meaning "the two straits" (a reference to the dynastic separation of upper and lower Egypt). The word originally connoted "metropolis" or "civilization" and also means "country", or "frontier-land". The English name "Egypt" came via the Latin word Aegyptus derived from the ancient Greek word Aígyptos (Αίγυπτος). The adjective aigýpti, aigýptios was borrowed into Coptic as gyptios, kyptios, and from there into Arabic as qubṭī, back formed into qubṭ, whence English Copt. The term is derived from Late Egyptian Hikuptah "Memphis", a corruption of the earlier Egyptian name Hat-ka-Ptah (ḥwt-k3-ptḥ), meaning "home of the ka (soul) of Ptah", the name of a temple to the god Ptah at Memphis. Strabo provided a folk etymology according to which Aígyptos (Αίγυπτος ) had evolved as a compound from Aegaeon uptiōs (Aἰγαίου ὑπτίως), meaning "below the Aegean".
