This book offers case histories of 100 Indo-European roots and shows how they appear in modern English. It provides a look at the ways in which language prehistory affects everyday modern vocabulary. Each entry consists of a definition and discussion of the root, a concise history of its descent to present-day English and a chart that presents the story visually.
