The Etymologicon

By Mark Forsyth

0 - Default Title
Description
Paperback edition of the bestseller of Christmas 2011, and Radio 4 "Book Of The Week". Looks at the hidden connections of the English language, such as what links disgruntled and gruntled, church organs and organised crime, California to the Caliphate and brackets to codpieces. Stemming from Forsyth's Inky Fool blog on etymology, it's a witty and erudite tour of the secret labyrinth that lies beneath the English language. *Also appeared in March Buyer's Notes*
