Drawing on linguistic analysis and historical research, the research delves into the diverse sources that have contributed to the formation of English proverbs, including Old English, Latin, Greek, and other languages. By examining the etymology of select proverbs, the study aims to elucidate how cultural influences, historical events, and linguistic changes have shaped the proverbial landscape of the English language.
