Is there a word of phrase for 'pronunciational etymology', which refers to pronunciation origins and change over time for a particular word?

E.g. What is the ____ of the word 'one'?

  • I don't think there's one word for this. Certainly the place to look this up would be the online etymology dictionary, though.

Phonological History tell you how the components sound of a word evolves but I don't think there's a word describing the history of the pronuciation of a word itself.
