The Horologicon by Mark Forsyth
A Day's Jaunt Through the Lost Words of the English Language
A witty, hour-by-hour tour of the language of daily life that revives obscure, eccentric words and phrases—each tied to a moment of the day—and pairs etymology, usage anecdotes and playful commentary to entertain readers while expanding their vocabulary and illuminating the oddities of human behavior.
