Studies In Words by C. S. Lewis
A collection of short essays tracing the historical development and shifting meanings of selected English words, showing how semantic change reveals shifts in thought, culture, and literary sensibility; the author uses detailed philological analysis to correct common misunderstandings, warn against careless use of key terms in criticism and philosophy, and argue that careful attention to word-history improves interpretation and clarity.
