Synopsis
Excerpt from The Tyro's Dictionary, Latin and English: Comprehending the More Usual Primitives of the Latin Tongue; Digested Alphabetically, in the Order of the Parts of Speech
But as the following essay will, it is hoped, in a good measure make up the disadvantage here com plained of, it will be proper, in the next place, to ob serve, that lexicographers generally restrict primi tivsa to narrow limits, and admit but a very scanty number. They strain hard to assign some origin, however fanciful, to most words, so that good many of the words, placed in our text as primitives, are by them considered as derivatives or compounds. Now, though the tracing of words in this manner, to some conjectural and uncertain origin, to a kind of fruitless scrutiny, that yields little satisfaction yet to prevent the young scholar's being an absolute stranger to such learned conceits, this in the following epitome is not altogether neglected: for such of these origins as have any shew of plausibility are here exhibited while, on the other hand, such of them as appear forced, far-fetched, or borrowed from the Greek, are purposely omitted. The learner, if he inclines, will have full opportunity of being further acquainted with them when he comes to use a large dictionary.
