Description

Excerpt from A New and Copious Lexicon of the Latin Language<br/><br/>Something remains to be said in relation to the derivation of words. This has been given in those cases where a sure or probable one suggested itself Some derivations from old Greek roots may appear rather forced, but it should be remembered that the element which is common to the two languages was probably derived from a common stock, and not drawn by one from the other; so that we should expect to find the languages more akin in their roots than in their derived words. Where no satisfactory or probable root could be found, the etymology has been left uncertain. In the arrangement of the meanings of words, Scheller and Lunemann have generally been more closely followed than Forcellini. They possess a manifest advantage, in a work of this kind and size, in bringing the phrases and idioms, which are given under a word, each into the place which its signification points out, and in incorporating the participles with the verbs to which they belong. It is proper to state, that some portions of the work are nearly a translation of Lunemann.
