Once upon a word

a word-origin dictionary for kids building vocabulary through etymology definitions & stories
Jess Zafarris ; illustrations by Marco Marella
Book - 2020

"The English language is made up of words from different places, events, and periods of time. Each of those words has an exciting story to tell us about where, when, how, and why they came about. "Once Upon a Word" is packed with easy-to-understand definitions and awesome word-origin stories. Here, you can understand the history and meaning of English words, improve your vocabulary and spelling, and learn to play with language. Explore how weird words like gnome, fun words like zombie, and common words like caterpillar came to exist. Discover why some words sound funnier than others (like cackle, sizzle, and twang) and why some groups of words start with the same few letters (like hydrate, hydrogen, and fire hydrant). There's a whole world of English words to uncover!" -- Page [4] of cover.
