By exhibiting the relationship between English and cognate tongues, it reveals the language's basis in Latin and Greek as well as prior derivations from Anglo-Saxon and Icelandic sources.Each entry begins with a brief definition and an exact statement of the term's actual (or probable) language of origin. An account of its transition to English usage follows, along with either a few quotations that indicate the period at which the word was adapted, or else the usual Middle-English forms. A helpful Appendix contains a glossary of prefixes, a general accounting of suffixes, a table of Indo-European roots, and vocabularies of homonyms and doublets, in addition to lists showing the distribution of the sources of English.A standard reference for many years, this volume will prove a practical resource not only to students of comparative philology and of early English, but to everyone with an interest in the origin, history, and development of the English language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51896026431776,"sku":"NEW0486440524","price":73.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81Dqsgyr1sL.jpg?v=1782044886","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/an-etymological-dictionary-of-the-english-language-dover-language-guides-0486440524","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
