Etymonline.com is an excellent resource. On another note, it has been said that words are a secret code, unless they are defined. To define a word means to give it limitation so that it means this and not that. The only way one is authorized to define a word is to possess the substance that the word is intending to convey.

The universe is everything, all the variability, diversity and multiplicity "turned into one". It's not really one, the word is just a grouping order to express everything together. Like existence, reality. We de-finite words from the near infinity of things to communicate about, because if we didn't we wouldn't be talking about one thing separate from others. If we didn't even apply the process to begin with, all we would have is one thing and one word for it. That's why we de-finite words from infinitude because we can't talk about anything if we're talking about everything. Definition is required.
