The American heritage dictionary of Indo-European roots

Calvert Watkins

"The words paradise, dough, and lady have nothing in common - or do they? In fact, all three are ultimately derived from the same prehistoric root. This unique book allows you to follow the paths of these and over 13,000 other English words and names back in time to their roots in Proto-Indo-European, the parent of all Indo-European languages. Fully revised and updated from its 1985 first edition by Professor Calvert Watkins, The American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots is a comprehensive and accessible guide that spans 6,000 years of linguistic and cultural development from the dawn of the lndo-European langauge family to the present day. It is an invaluable resource for language lovers everywhere."--BOOK JACKET.
