This dictionary gives the origins of some 20,000 items from the modern English vocabulary, discussing them in groups that make clear the connections between words derived by a variety of routes from originally common stock. As well as giving the answers to questions about the derivation of individual words, every page points out links with other entries. Longer articles are written as continuous prose and are divided up by means of numbered paragraphs and subheadings. There are lists of prefixes, suffixes and elements used in the creation of new vocabulary.
