The book An Etymological Dictionary of Modern English (Volume 1: A–K), written by Ernest Weekley and published by Dover Publications, is a classic reference work that explores the origins and historical development of English words. This etymological dictionary focuses on the first half of the alphabet, offering detailed entries on the roots of common English words, including slang, archaic terms, coined words and foreign loanwords, with clear explanations of how meanings and usages evolved over time.
