Informative and amusing exercises reinforce the vocabulary entries.
Here is an entertaining way to:
• Strengthen vocabulary
• Boost score on SAT, GRE, and other standardized examinations
• Learn the intriguing stories behind our English words
• Increase cultural literacy
"This is a superb little book, well-planned for self-study or use in either high school or college courses. The research that underlies the fresh, engaging presentation of etymologies is flawless; and the examples of word usage, both historical and contemporary, are succinct and delightful. If understanding one's language is a road to enlightenment, this book will enlighten many readers."—Stanley Lombardo, Professor and Chair, Classics Department, University of Kansas
