This perfect gift for readers, writers, and literature majors alike unearths the quirks of the English language. For example, do you know why a mortgage is literally a "death pledge"? Why guns have girls' names? Why "salt" is related to "soldier"? Discover the answers to all of these etymological questions and more in this fascinating book for fans of of Eats, Shoots & Leaves. The Etymologicon is a completely unauthorized guide to the strange underpinnings of the English language. It explains how you get from "gruntled" to "disgruntled"; why you are absolutely right to believe that your meager salary barely covers "money for salt"; how the biggest chain of coffee shops in the world connects to whaling in Nantucket; and what, precisely, the Rolling Stones have to do with gardening. This witty book will awake the linguist in you and illuminate the hidden meanings behind common words and phrases, tracing their evolution through all of their surprising paths throughout history.Binding Type: Paperback

A soft, non clingy top that fits perfectly!
Color: Print 02, Size: X-Large
This is such a versatile top . The sleeves are a perfect length. The material is high quality and the colors are so pretty. It launders well with no wrinkles. I will definitely be ordering more tops from WIHOLL. Great top at a great price.

Nice quality casual shirt
Color: Print 02, Size: Large
I love this shirt! It was true to size, color and fit! I washed it in cold water and dried on permanent press. Put on a hanger immediately out of the dryer - no wrinkles! No shrinkage and no fade. Materials is light but is not see thru.

Very flattering
Color: Boho Print 03, Size: X-Large
Great shirts! I have a large bust, and they still look great! They're comfortable and don't cling, and they're machine wash and tumble dry low. This is my third one, and I may buy more.
