Description
"Eugene Ehrlich reveals that the language we call our own has in fact been culled from the languages of ancient invaders. Ehrlich's research and lingual experience bring to light what has until now been hidden from the general audience: the origins of some of our favorite and well-used words. Ehrlich illuminates the origins, purposes, and meanings of once-foreign words that have become part of the rich weave of our language."--BOOK JACKET.
