Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 4)

This project is an interactive, scrollytelling etymology visualization that traces the Proto-Indo-European root *deru- through dozens of descendant words across multiple language families. It combines linguistic scholarship with a bottom-up tree diagram and honest treatment of uncertain links, making a dry subject explorable and visually engaging.

Target audience: frontend devs, data engineers, linguists, educators
