'Those words' (below-hyperlinked to a small report on 'parts of speech') are built on even-deeper sources ... crucial things that firm the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands ...
“Parts of Speech” explain how words are used in a sentence (see the list beneath these 'etymologies').
The word "Part" is built on "to |Grant, |Allot" (theatrical sense ('playing a Part, the big Part you won at audition') from an actor's "Share" in a Performance; 'separation'-sense from |Dividing the Whole into |Portions).
The word "Speech/Speak" is built on "to |Strew (on the notion of 'a Scattering of Words'—like The |Sower, the title-character of Lord Jesus Christ's famous parable?)" 

    The Parts of Speech:

  • Nouns (naming words)—name of a person, place, thing or idea
  • Pronouns (replacing nouns)—used in place of a noun or noun-phrase to avoid repetition
  • Verbs (action words)—shows an action or state of being (what someone or something is doing)
  • Auxiliary Verbs and Lexical Verbs.
  • Dynamic Verbs (action, process or sensing) and Stative Verbs.
  • Finite Verbs and Nonfinite (not 'Infinite') Verbs.
  • Regular Verbs and Irregular Verbs.
  • Transitive Verbs and Intransitive Verbs.
            • Gerund—a verb used as a noun (usually ending in -ing)
  • Adjectives (describing word)—describes, modifies or gives more information about a noun or pronoun
    • Articles help describe the nouns or pronouns as Definite (The) or Indefinite (A or An)
            • Participles (Past Participles, Present Participles)—a verb used as noun, -adject, or -part of a compound verb
  • Adverbs (telling how, when, where, how often or to what extent)—describes/modifies a verb, adjective or another adverb
  • Prepositions (show inter-relationship)—shows relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word—indicating time, place (position) or relationship
  • Conjunctions (joining words)—joining two words, phrases or ideas together in a sentence & showing how they are connected
  • Interjections (expressive words)—words or phrases that expresses a strong feeling or emotion ... Exclamations



Or maybe I'm looking at it wrong—that's one reason
 Our Father God said "It is not good for the man to be
 alone":  "Because the man'll think he's right until someone else shows
 him why he's not"—Won't you show me
 if I'm right-or-wrong in the comments below?
