At the top of the front endpaper is this "3 Mar 05 19.99". No other marks. If you want to know more about the histories of words than you can find in a dictionary entry or a collection of (often erroneous) etymologies, this is the only book that can help you. A thorough investigation of the history of the science of etymology, written in a charming and engaging style by an internationally acclaimed expert, Word Origins is the first book to make this arcane endeavor accessible to the nonspecialist reader. Every (eccentrically titled) chapter is crowded with dozens of examples of proven word histories, used to illustrate how the origins of words are traced and, in some cases, how they shouldn't be If you've ever read the history of a word and asked yourself "How could they know that?" this is the book for you.
