The Etymologicon: a Circular Stroll Through the Hidden Connections of the English Language
Mark Forsyth
[*Includes Bonus PDF with Quizzes]
[Read by Don Hagen]
In the tradition of Eats, Shoots & Leaves, The Etymologicon is an engaging and humorous exploration of English words and their origins - and already a #1 international bestseller!
Do you know . . .
- why a mortgage is literally a death pledge?
- why guns have girls' names?
- why salt is related to soldier?
You're about to find out.
The Etymologicon is a completely unauthorized guide to the strange underpinnings of the English language. It explains how you get from ''gruntled'' to ''disgruntled''; why you are absolutely right to believe that your meager salary barely covers ''money for salt''; how the biggest chain of coffee shops in the world (hint: Seattle) connects to whaling in Nantucket; and what precisely the Rolling Stones have to do with gardening.
