    They changed from the original still very good just not as many derivations
  

*by L***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2021*

There is a hardback and I definitely prefer hardbacks, however, it has more words in it, I go to look fro something in my new one and it is not there and I check the old one and it is, please  bring the old one back and the hardback - now all that said the derivations it does give are awesome!  So informative, it is an amazing  book,

    If you like learning histories of words, this book is for you.
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2019*

A friend had this book and I would get lost in it for an hour or so each time just reading the stories of how words got their meanings.  I bought it for my mother based on that and she similarly will pick it up and just happily read the histories of different words.  If you are the sort of person who enjoys derivations and books such as "Mother Tongue, English and How it Got that Way, " then you'll enjoy this book.  However, do realize that the words in the book are basically school dictionary level, there are not a lot of college level or above words.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    History of commonly used words
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2021*

This is a delightful and easy to read reference book explaining the origin of commonly used words and terms. It explains the various national origins and how they were originally used in those ancient societies. I recommend it for anyone wanting to write well and for college students wanting to make an impression on the professors.
