Explain the etymological meaning of philosophy​

"Answer:

The word philla (root word for philo) is one of three Greek words commonly used for love, the other two being agape and eros. Agape is a spiritual or unconditional love, usually used in reference to God's love for man. Eros is the origin of the English word erotic, denoting a sexual sort of love. Philla, in contrast to the other two words, is a mental love. It is the sort of love that exists when the one loving benefits from the thing loved. For this reason, philosophy uses the word philla because the one calling himself a philosopher finds himself benefiting from the act of philosophy, the act of gaining wisdom.

It is commonly held that the word philosophy was first used by the Greek philosopher Pythagoras circa 500 B.C. The term was often contrasted with the word sophistry, which literally translates to wise man. The latter indicates one's concern with knowledge as a status symbol, while the former indicates a genuine love of truth."
