Where do words come from? How and when were they invented? Why are
there they invented? Why are there so many different languages? Why
do many languages share the same or similar words for the same
things? The answers to all these questions lie in the study of
etymology. This concerns the roots of words and how the sounds and
spellings, as well as the meanings, have evolved over time. How did
'lollypops' get their name? (In the northern part of England,
"lolly' means "tongue') Useful for reference and fun for browsing,
A2Z Book of word Origins is also an interesting way to expand
vocabulary and enjoy doing it. This book gives a history of the
words, expressions and cliches we use
