The English language contains a large number of eponymic words--words derived from the names of people because of their close association with the product, service, or concept. This lively, compact, and entertaining reference book presents four hundred "true" eponyms that cover virtually every field of human activity, originating from a vast cross-section of foreign, as well as English, names. It reveals, for example, that the "cardigan" gets its name from James Thomas Brudenell, the seventh Earl of Cardigan, and that the "zeppelin" comes from the name of a German soldier and airship designer and manufacturer, Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. A short account of the originator's history and claim to this unusual form of immortality accompanies the definition for each word. It also includes a subject index which facilitates the reader's ability to satisfy their curiosity about specific areas.
