Takes groups of three parameters (triplets) that indicate a part of an [[etymology]] and produces formatted output. It is highly recommended that in-line etymologies be placed within [[Brackets|parentheses]], i.e. <code><nowiki>({{etymology}})</nowiki></code>.

== Usage ==

<pre>
{{etymology|''language1''|''orthography1''|''meaning1''
           |''language2''|''orthography2''|''meaning2''
           |''language3''|''orthography3''|''meaning3'' ... }}
</pre>

Between one and six triplets can be specified, each of which can have the following parameters (which can be left blank or, at the end of the list, omitted entirely):

* '''''language''''': The [[Template:ISO_639_name|ISO 639]] code or name for the language. This might be omitted if the language is obvious (e.g. the same as the language of the previous part, or English).
* '''''orthography''''': How the word or words are written in the original language. If the original language uses a non-Latin alphabet the orthography should be surrounded by two straight single quotation marks (vertical apostrophes) <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> before and after to avoid automatic italicizing (see [[MOS:Ety]]), followed by a transliteration within parentheses. If a transliteration is not needed, the final set of single quotation marks must be followed by a character, such as a hair space (<code> </code>) or thin space (<code>&amp;thinsp;</code> or <code> </code>), to avoid text formatting problems.
* '''''meaning''''': Concise English meaning of the word. This could be a link if appropriate.

;Notes:
* For each triplet, at least one of ''language'' and ''orthography'' must be specified (non-blank).
* If the original language uses a non-Latin alphabet (or no alphabet at all), the orthography should be followed by a transliteration within parentheses.
* This template may also be coded using the shortened form, <code><nowiki>{{ety}}</nowiki></code>.
