About This Item
Covering the how and why of etymology (along with generous helpings of who, what when and where) Word Origins explains the science behind the word histories we take so much for granted. With this book, you'll not only learn the origins of hundreds of words, you'll understand how true word histories are actually uncovered. Part history, part how-to manual, Word Origins draws back the curtain to show how etymologists perform amazing feats of word archaeology.
