The Etymologicon

A Circular Stroll Through the Hidden Connections of the English Language


A funny, enlightening and ingenious book about the origins and hidden connections between words in a light-hearted and often irreverent way, which starts and ends with books, and covers everything else in-between: from chickens, testicles and sausages to Bohemia, California and assassins on drugs. You will never think about certain words in the same way again.

Revuews

What a fun look at language and where words and phrases come from. Connections abound in this book, which is surprisingly engaging for an in-depth study of English language. Recommended, and not just for hard-core linguists.

I used this as my waiting room book. You can pick it up any time, read as much or alittle as you want. It's always interesting. It's a fascinating romp through the english language, finding where words come from, linking them in strange ways. Excellent and enjoyable.
