A review by terieh
The Etymologicon by Mark Forsyth
5.0
4.5 stars.
Loved the dry, British humour and the meandering through familiar words and phrases was fascinating. As the book is structured only in short “chapters” (one word leads to the next which leads to the next) it got a tad difficult (tiring) to read sometimes because the chapter “breaks” weren’t really breaks. Still, I’ll be referring back to it a lot.
