### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Couldn’t tear myself away
*by K***  on December 3, 2024*

I’m always looking for new words and their origins and connections. This instantly became one of my favorite books. Written so creatively with one topic or word segueing into the next. Mind blown when I reached the end and I immediately turned to the first page again to start all over. I carry this book in my bag almost everywhere now to share fascinating snippets will fellow lovers of words. (page markers are good to keep on hand) At any given time there’s an opportunity to reference this book with our day to day language. You will not be disappointed!!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Language Lover’s Delight
*by W***R on October 21, 2024*

Forsyth’s sense of humor and brilliance of the etymological development of languages is unparalleled. I have not read the book entirely yet but it’s a laugh out loud read while he brilliantly explains how, why and where the development of terminology in the English language occurred inmeticulous detail. I’m looking forward to his quizzes in the back of the book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reads like Anchor Yale dictionary
*by G***R on June 4, 2024*

Though it is written in the style of biblical dictionaries/lexicons, understanding is enhanced for up-and-coming wordsmiths. I suppose it is best understood as the ongoing effort to increase the distance from the german language as what people want to call english is yet one of the 'dialects of german', but it remains a 'dialect of english' which arrived in the UK with the Anglo-Saxons (those whom 'proper english people are wont to call barbarians- go figure). Etymology is something many refuse to allow in their learning curve. So-called 'english' is a huge thief when it comes to words and is still the only form of communication within a grouping of people seeking to build a vault of words and meanings. There is a book called the 'Dictionary of English Words' (tongue in cheek) which purports to have two hundred seventy-five entries between the front and back covers with break down as follows >12% actual english words, 50% Greek and Latin words, the other 32% is a mixture of pilfered from other languages. What is called ?english? is a conglomerate of stolen communication. The Etymologicon will awake your curiosity.
