Synopsis

This book is an approachable introduction to the Latin roots of a significant number of English words. Many of our most common words were borrowed from Latin, often with meanings that have not changed in over 2,000 years. By learning the rudiments of Latin etymology, readers can vastly expand their English vocabularies and deepen their understanding of the English language as a whole. The author, an experienced teacher, avoids unnecessary jargon and provides useful exercises that reinforce the lessons in a clear, engaging manner. Readers with a basic understanding of English grammar and pronunciation will find this book both enlightening and enjoyable. Students of Latin, or anyone interested in the evolution of the English language, should find this an invaluable resource.
