The work deals with the review of some etymological problems or challenges of the English Language and the reasons of them. We will touch the History or the origin and development of the English Language and its varieties as well as the borrowed or loan words. Etymologically the vocabulary of the English Language is far from being homogenous. It consists of the two layers – the native stock of words and the borrowed stock of words. The borrowed stock of words is numerically larger than the native one. In fact, native words comprise only 30% of the total number of English vocabulary, but they form the bulk of the words most frequently used in speech and writing. Besides, native words are polysemantic.
