If you are fascinated by words and their histories, if you would get pleasure from finding, for example, that an 'aftermath' is a 'second crop of hay', that a 'gossip' was a godparent, that 'groundsel' means 'pus-swallower' and that a muscle is literally 'a little mouse', then you will enjoy this book. In Wordlore David Hilliam takes an informal look at some 375 word-histories. Delightful line-drawings serve to highlight aspects of some of the intriguing derivations.
