Abstract:
Learn more about etymology, the tool linguists use to decipher the fascinating (and mundane) backstories of words and phrases. For example, you'll explore why "eeny, meeny, miney, moe" is really about sheep in Great Britain; why "quaint" originally meant "crafty"; and why we drink punches as well as throw them.
