"A narrative etymological dictionary intended [for] lawyers, judges, and other legal professionals. The entries consist of legal words or words that are commonly used in legal work. The other criteria ... for inclusion were primarily how important the word is to lawyers, how interesting its etymology is, and how comprehensive the known etymology is"--Preface, p. vii.
