Etymology
The phrase "weiter erkunden" combines the German adverb "weiter," meaning 'further' or 'continuously,' with the verb "erkunden," meaning 'to explore' or 'to investigate.' "Erkunden" derives from the prefix "er-" indicating completion or thoroughness, and "kunden," related to the word for 'knowledge' or 'information.' Did you know? The root "kund" is linked to the idea of knowing or learning, which perfectly fits the meaning of seeking out new knowledge through exploration.
