The answer is etymology: the original text in the question...

Explanation for each option:

  • Conjugation: This term refers to the variation of the form of a verb in an inflected language, such as changing tense, mood, voice, aspect, person, number, gender, and case. It is not related to the history of a word.

  • Phonetics: This is the study of the sounds of human speech. While phonetics can be part of a dictionary entry, it deals with pronunciation rather than the history of a word.

  • Linguistics: This is the scientific study of language and its structure, including the study of morphology, syntax, phonetics, and semantics. While etymology is a branch of linguistics, the term "linguistics" itself is too broad to specifically refer to word histories.

  • Etymology: This is the study of the origin of words and how their meanings and forms have changed over time. In a dictionary, the etymology section provides the history of a word, making it the correct answer.
