etymological origin
favor of many opinions, the term "environment" is a tautology , and can be replaced by other expressions more specific or ambiguous as is the case of environment or environment. Remember, the word means can be a noun and an adjective, meaning half, so it should not be said for the Environment Ministry as they say in Spain, but the Ministry of Environment as the use of article determines the use of the term as a noun. And when we say only the Ministry of Environment is because the Middle noun is understood.



Environmentalism
As a noun, the word environment comes from the Latin medium (neutral form) as an adjective, from Latin medius (masculine). The word comes from Latin ambiens environment, "ambientis, and this in Antwerp," surround "," to be on both sides. " The term environment is partially redundant because the two nouns have a meaning matching, which is precisely what they have when they go together, but several others are not, such as the use of the term environment to another different meaning, for example, when we say: "This cafe has a very pleasing", or when it comes to environment, as a term frequently used now in the field of politics, for example, when you say "the President government and its environment. " And the use of two nouns with an equivalent meaning in this case is justified to achieve greater precision of language, which, in this and many other cases, it is extremely important to avoid ambiguity. And the word comes from the word environment in and around, meaning "around", "outline."
