Where do our everyday words come from? The
bagel you eat for breakfast, the
bumf you have to wade through at the office, and the
bus that takes you home again: we use these words without thinking about their origins or how their meanings have changed over time. Simon Horobin takes the reader on a journey through a typical day, showing how the words we use to describe routine activities - getting up, going to work, eating meals - have surprisingly fascinating histories.
