There's always an extra connection, another link that joins two words that most of mankind quite blithely believe to be separate. Erudite, discursive and highly entertaining, Forsythe's book pursues the etymological pathways from ancient languages and through the twists and (often ribald) turns of English, demonstrating how testicles are linked to testaments and parentheses to codpieces; how the Vikings Sedge-Stream relates to Starbuck's; and how the Zodiac's Gemini becomes both equal sign and oily beaver.

Softcover. English. Icon Books. 2016. ISBN: 9781785781704. 256 pp. Fair/good. Book No: 82854
