Oxford School Dictionary of Word Origins - The Curious Twists and Turns of the Cool and Weird Words We Use

With headwords in colour, and quirky character illustrations, this dictionary recounts the history of thousands of words. This new edition takes a fresh look at the cool and curious words we use, and tells the stories of where words come from, whether they are to do with food, fashion, invented words, or words from the 80s, 90s, and noughties.
