Download or read book Word Origins written by John Ayto and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 983 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The average contemporary English speaker knows 50,000 words. Yet stripped down to its origins, this apparently huge vocabulary is in reality much smaller, derived from Latin, French and the Germanic languages.
