ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY


This is a map of the wheel-ruts of modern English. Etymologies are not
definitions; they're explanations of what our words meant and how they sounded
600 or 2,000 years ago.


The dates beside a word indicate the earliest year for which there is a
surviving written record of that word (in English, unless otherwise indicated).
This should be taken as approximate, especially before about 1700, since a word
may have been used in conversation for hundreds of years before it turns up in a
manuscript that has had the good fortune to survive the centuries.


The basic sources of this work are Weekley's "An Etymological Dictionary of
Modern English," Klein's "A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the English
Language," "Oxford English Dictionary" (second edition), "Barnhart Dictionary of
Etymology," Holthausen's "Etymologisches Wörterbuch der Englischen Sprache," and
Kipfer and Chapman's "Dictionary of American Slang." A full list of print
sources used in this compilation can be found here.


Since this dictionary went up, it has benefited from the suggestions of dozens
of people I have never met, from around the world. Tremendous thanks and
appreciation to all of you.
