商品簡介
商品簡介
Ever think about how many languages tumble off our tongues when we speak English? So many languages with so many word origins that tell so many tales! Like these...
- Arabic's algebra that got tangled up in bone-setting
- Why the Greek for "milk" became our galaxy
- What the French connection is between sabotage and shoes
- How Hindi for milk-and-sugar found its way into seersucker
- The fishy story of how ketchup spiced up English from half a world away
- And the true measure of the Spanish ten-gallon hat
More than 450 words reveal their language history, from the Welsh flummery to the Viking freckle to the Latin red-letter day.
If you love words and the stories they tell, and would enjoy an entertaining look at language evolution, E Pluribus English is a book for you.
