I must thank the publishers for my review copy.
For a straighter look at the etymology and how modern words just purloin older ones, you might enjoy [[New Words for Old: Recycling Our Language for the Modern World by Caroline Taggart]]. How words from diverse corners of our tongue actually connect in the mists of time is explored by [[Words of a Feather by Graeme Donald]]. You might also appreciate [[There Are Tittles in This Title: The Weird World of Words by Mitchell Symons]].
