Loremaster here. You must search for the etymology of words. Knowing the original meaning you can tell what they wanted to convey, knowing the primitive root you can identify words that relate and how they differ as they get used, and knowing the way the sound changes you can sense the same pattern in other words like that.

You are reading articles about topics that are too advanced for you. You need to learn the basics first, which is what every child does throughout their 12+ years of education. You have to start at the bottom and gradually accumulate more complex layers of knowledge. You can’t jump ahead or else you will be confused.

What do you want to learn about? I'll take an example and do Firearms. You can easily go into any book store and buy a general book on firearms history with pictures and brief articles. Then you can branch out once you find yourself inching towards niches. Maybe you like WWI firearms development, or want to stay in the black powder era? Then you get books about that. There's websites and youtube series about all of that.
