A Classic Reference for Students of the English Language; Word Stems is a dictionary using the cores, or stems, of words to define and decipher the most commonly used foreign words that form the foundation of the English language. Our language is a hybrid of Latin, Greek and some ten other languages. For example "bord", Anglo-Saxon for edge or side, spawns a variety of words: "border", as in edge or demarcation line; "overboard", meaning over the side of a vessel; "starboard", the right-hand or steering side. "Jur" in Latin means swear. "Jury", then, is a sworn body or group. And "perjure" means to swear falsely. Word Stems is perfect for students, word buffs, puzzlers, and writers and is just the book for the home or school reference shelf.
