SUMMARY

"Acorn" has nothing to do with "corn". So many of the words we use and take for granted have no bearing on what their spellings suggest they were derived from. Word scholars and general readers alike will find this collection of the origins of nearly 1200 words fascinating. The book offers hours of satisfying reading and is an indispensable reference for anyone curious about the English language.Room, Adrian is the author of 'NTC Dictionary of Word Origins', published 1994 under ISBN 9780844251790 and ISBN 0844251798.
