While etiology *does* involve "any study of causes, causation, or
causality", I think the word you want is etymology (not to be confused
with entomology, which is what Grissom does).

Think about what the recipient of a "blow job" does at the climactic
moment (i.e., "Thar he blows!").

*ponders* And then there's the usage of "blow" for cocaine, which only
seems non-ironic in that scene from "Annie Hall".
