Excerpt from A Concise Etymological Dictionary of the English Language
The first edition of my 'concise Etymological Dictionary of the English Language' was published in 1882, and it has since passed through several editions.
Each successive edition contained several corrections and additions, in order that the work might be, to some extent, brought up to date.
