Résumé : This book does not set out to impose its etymologies as the only solutions but sets right some of our misconceptions about the origins of English words. Here we see how over the centuries people have tried to explain expressions intuitively, and have often failed because of homophones or coincidences. A good introduction to etymology which might make some people want to research further, and would make a nice gift for young people with inquisitive minds.
