The Origins Of English Words by Gary J. Shipley
A concise, accessible guide to how English vocabulary developed over centuries, tracing the roots and pathways by which words entered and changed in meaning and form—from Old English and Germanic origins through Latin, French, Norse, Greek, and later borrowings—while explaining patterns of sound change, affixation, compounding, and semantic shift with illustrative examples and historical context to help readers understand why modern English words look and behave the way they do.
