"From the darkest corners of the dictionary, More Word Histories and Mysteries From Aardvark to Zombie brings the most interesting words in English into the spotlight and reveals the surprising and entertaining stories that lie behind everyday vocabulary like nacho or tabloid and commonplace expressions like red herring or stark-naked." "Word lovers can discover the unexpected linguistic links between pairs of words like human and bridegroom or love and libido, and they can follow other words like adobe and scallion all the way back to Egypt, India, and other cultures of the ancient world. Fans of the English language can also explore the richness of American regional terms, from New England lingo like hosey to New Orleans expressions like lagniappe. The techniques that linguists use to trace the origins of words are carefully explained along the way, while photographs and drawings enliven the pages and illustrate the eclectic pleasures of English etymology."--BOOK JACKET.

Most people know that words like burrito and quesadilla come from Spanish, but there are many more English words that we would never suspect are Spanish until we look closely. Did you know that the words breeze and hammock come from Spanish? The jerky in beef jerky, for example, is from Spanish charquí, and the English verb vamoose is from the expression ?Vamos! which means Let’s go! in Spanish. Spanish Word Histories and Mysteries: English Words that Come from Spanish tells the fascinating stories behind 200 English words from Spanish. Every sphere of English vocabulary has been enriched by Spanish, from names for animals—alligator, coyote, and mosquito—to words for weather—hurricane and tornado. This book also explores the Spanish origin of some of the colorful expressions of the Old West: bonanza, loco, mustang, ranch, and ten-gallon hat. Of course, the book digs into the many words for different foods that come from Spanish—not only the obvious ones, such as salsa and taco, but also potato, tomato, caramel, vanilla, and, most important, chocolate. Photographs and line drawings enliven the pages and illustrate the history of the words.

It's an engaging way to learn more about history and the new evidence that sheds light on long-standing theories." --Daily Press "Aron has produced a fascinating and judicious description of historical mysteries from the Neanderthals to Gorbachev. His entertaining account of historical controversies will leave every reader the wiser about the past." --Jack F.
