Eytmology is word history. If you want more than a defination, knowing where a word comes from and how it develops is all apart of a complete understanding, but at the same time the eytmology is not a current defination.
IF you want to do a proper word study we need to look at the koine Greek and not the english, why? because the command and the word we translate to "sin" (and our full understanding of that word) is all based on this word in the greek: ἁμαρτία hamartia
https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lex...G266&t=KJV
Which defines out to mean: "that which is done wrong, sin, an offence, a violation of the divine law in thought or in act"
Which happens to coincide with the modern defination.
" an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law"

Which show previous usage of the word 'sin' was incorrect.
