Krátky popis
THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER'Witty and erudite ...
stuffed with the kind of arcane information that nobody strictly
needs to know, but which is a pleasure to learn nonetheless.' Nick
Duerden, Independent. 'Particularly good ...Forsyth takes words and
draws us into their, and our, murky history.' William Leith,
Evening Standard. The Etymologicon is an occasionally ribald,
frequently witty and unerringly erudite guided tour of the secret
labyrinth that lurks beneath the English language. What is the
actual connection between disgruntled and gruntled? What links
church organs to organised crime, California to the Caliphate, or
brackets to codpieces?Mark Forsyth's riotous celebration of the
idiosyncratic and sometimes absurd connections between words is a
classic of its kind: a mine of fascinating information and a
must-read for word-lovers everywhere.'Highly recommended' Spectator
