This etymological dictionary gives the origins of some 20,000 items from the modern English vocabulary, discussing them in groups that make clear the connections between words derived by a variety of routes from originally common stock.

As well as giving the answers to questions about the derivation of individual words, it is a fascinating book to browse through, and includes extensive lists of prefixes, suffixes, and elements used in the creation of new vocabulary.

四版定编英美，一文通捋印欧

2016年2月3日

这是本享有盛誉的英语词源词典，或者更确切地说，是一本以英语词条为索引的印欧语词源词典，包罗宏富。它荟萃了印欧历史语言学的研究成果，引征相关著名词典凡数十种，其中包括为我们所熟悉的 Dictionnaire Etymologique de la Langue Latine ， A Dictionary of Selected Synonyms in the Principal Indo-European Languages， Webster ' s New World Dictionary 以及法语、意大利语、哥特语、古希腊语、梵语、凯尔特语、德语等词源词典，也包括二十世纪初所发现并成功释读的两种古老印欧语赫梯语和吐火罗语词源知识——比如，页289 hippopotamus （河马）条目下，就列出了原始印欧语“马”的构拟形式 *ekwos，希腊语 hippo-，拉丁语 equus，古爱尔兰语 ech，古英语 eoh ，以及乙种吐火罗语 yakwe 。yakwe，啊哈，这不就是《史记》上所记载的“义渠”的对音吗？又比如，英语 day，法语 jour ，古代印度神话主神 Dyaus（迪奥斯），古代日耳曼神话主神 Tyr（提尔），拉丁语 Diana（狄安娜），德语 Tag ，希腊语 Zeus（宙斯），拉丁语 Jovis （朱庇特）等均为同源词，如何理解？——请读页151 Diana 词条！要之，读此词典，如行山阴道上，无限风光，令人目不暇接。

当然，这只是一部词典，所列出者多为其然，而非其所以然。从词典中，你或许会了解到希腊语的 hyper-和拉丁语的 super-同源，但词典不会告诉你相关的同源词中，希腊语的 h- 和拉丁语的 s-之间的语音对应关系，如希腊语词源的 herpes（带状疱疹）对应于拉丁语词源的serpent（大蛇）。至于诸多印欧语语音定律，如格林定律，维尔纳定律，格拉斯曼定律，索绪尔定律等，这些知识更在词典讲解范围之外而应求索于印欧语言学专题教材。又比如，词典上说，hysteria（歇斯底里）来源于希腊文 hystera-（子宫），但子宫和此病又有何关联？对此词典并不予以说明。这种百科知识，也不在词典的论述范围之内。很大程度上，这部词典是为了让你获得更多的词汇方面的感性知识，基本不涉及理论以及百科知识方面的论述。

词典很厚，凡972页。即此之故，原名中的 Short Dictionary 之 short 今已删去。平装版，影印本，有些页面略有洇漶之处，但不妨碍阅读。1966年第四版，2009年印刷。

这样厚的一本字典真希望是精装的才好。这是英美公认的最好的一本词源书。

Two (generous) stars for Kindle edition only

2011年7月21日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

已确认购买

First of all, the text itself is great, and I have little doubt that the paper edition is unproblamtic. My comments here apply only to the Kindle edition. The people who edited this fine text for the Kindle must not be Kindle users themselves. I recently needed the etymology of the word 'much.' However, the only way to get there is to do a search for the word 'much,' and of course, this produces 30 pages of hits, each with six results, or 180 all together. For each, the Kindle displays limited context, so you can rule out some of them, but others looked like the possible entry. After a few false hits, I finally arrived at the actual entry (from the 15th page of results), only for it to refer me to the entry for 'master.' This dictionary is full of such cross-references, which is fine except that they are not hyper-linked, so you will have to do another search or try to find the correct hit amongst the current search results. Thus we have a dictionary with no proper way to look up words. It's an extremely small minority of dictionary-users who read the tome cover-to-cover, and it's unfortunate that the Kindle edition was prepared in such an effortless manner that only such people are inconvenienced.

I implore the publisher to take this into consideration. Kindle editions can be revised and re-downloaded at no cost to the user, and I request such a revision. Kindle dictionaries actually have a look-up function which was not used for this product.

Weigh this complaint against the fact that this is a US$60 purchase and not the $9.99 that most non-academic Kindle books are priced at. I don't mind paying more for scholarly work (and fortunately my purchase came out of grant money, which is the only reason I'm not returning it), but given that the author has been dead for over 30 years, this is an awful lot of money to be going to editors who didn't do enough work on the Kindle edition to justify their job titles.

If the dictionary is revised in such a way that looking up words is a task easily accomplished, I will happily remove this review and replace it with the glowing review that the text itself deserves. I certainly don't think that the ability to look up words in a dictionary directly is an unreasonable request nor do I think implementing such a method would be difficult for the publisher as it involves a function the Kindle already provides but which the publisher didn't use.

Useful, Fun, even if you have other dictionaries

I am an English teacher and have amateur interest in linguistics, languages, and the history of the English language/ European languages. I am not a professional linguist or grad student and do not have other experiences with other etymological dictionaries. I do own the giant two volume Oxford Shorter Dictionary. That all said, I really like this Origins book. It is very easy to use, all abbreviations are intuitively comprehensible, and if not, easily looked up. Words with similar/ same root/ origin are clearly cross-referenced and it is really fun to see the connections and development of the language over time. Especially of our English(Germanic) origins, which have been sacrificed in favor of Gr/Latin for hundreds of years. (One recent discovery, "free" comes from an old word for "love", also the origin of friend and Friday- love day). The OED Shorter has basic etymology, but Origins has a lot more information, and parallel words in many languages. I recommend getting it, even if you have another dictionary with some etymology, and even second hand.

The place where words come from.

I found this difficult to read, at first, because of the abbreviations used (literally 100's of different ones throughout the book) in each definition, but caught onto them over time. You get used to flipping to check the key when an uncommon abbreviation comes up. Once I became accustomed to that....it really opened up a wealth of knowledge.

This is a great resource, and highly recommended for anyone deeply interested in Etymology. It contrasts nicely with the online Etymology dictionaries, since the information offered in the book is a bit more in depth. The book also does a better job of cross-referencing related words than any website could.

It's an older book (the author died in 1979), but the information in here never gets old. The new print is pricey, but you can pick up used copies for a fair price. It's a great addition to any reference shelf.

Highly recommended, if you are an Etymology geek.

Partridge: always the best of the etymological dictionaries!

2017年2月23日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

已确认购买

Nice, 40 year old copy of Partridge's Etymological Dictionary. As an official English Major, I've owned and tried out at least 4 etymological dictionaries, and several thesaurus/dictionary combinations. Most are dry as dust, but Partridge managed to go for the subtle information that underlies what words really mean, and how they started (and how the origins color the background emotional behind words. Best to get a used hardback in Very Good condition, because it will be in use for years. (I've had mine since the 1980's, and this is a present for a son-in-law who likes looking up words in the unabridged dictionary.)
