  9. What is etymology? Etymology is: The word castle is derived from the Latin word caslellum witch is a diminutive of the word castrum, meaning “fortified place”.

  10. What does gunpowder have to do with castles? Gunpowder is included with castles so the weapons (not swords) have amo or ammunition to use in battle.
