Description
In this inaugural volume, Liberman addresses fifty-five words traditionally dismissed as being of unknown etymology. This unique resource discusses the main problems in the methodology of etymological research and contains indexes of subjects, names, and all of the root words. Each entry is a full-fledged article, shedding light for the first time on the source of some of the most widely disputed word origins in the English language.
