did the royal arch originate as part of the third degree or was it created as a separate degree
William James Hughan argued that the Royal Arch originated as an amplification of a later portion of the Third Degree, emerging roughly two decades after the Craft revival of 1717. Hughan favored the theory that the central word placed within the Royal Arch had originally been given during the sections of the Master Mason degree, so that what was once lost and found in the Third Degree was subsequently transferred to the Royal Arch under more exalted surroundings. W. J. Chetwode Crawley similarly viewed it not as an independent entity in origin, but as the completing part of a single Masonic legend present before it developed into a standalone degree.

que es freemasonry
English lectures famously define Freemasonry in the Craft as "a peculiar system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols," though Mackey prefers to describe it as a system of morality developed and inculcated through the science of symbolism. At its structural foundation, a lodge symbolically represents a body of workmen laboring under a Master Workman, employing working tools, aprons, and traditions of ancient temple builders to convey moral instruction.
