Merriam-Webster New Book of Word Histories

Dave Wilton, Friday, January 05, 2007

Mish, Frederick C., ed. The Merriam-Webster New Book of Word Histories. Springfield, Mass.: Merriam-Webster, 1991.

An excellent supplement to a standard dictionary that provides detailed histories for some 1,500 words. In-depth, but not comprehensive, coverage.
