Horobin, Simon (Professor of English Language and Literature, Professor of English Language and Literature, University of Oxford)
This book explores the fascinating origins of the words and phrases that we use every day. Simon Horobin takes the reader through a typical day's activities - waking up, eating meals, going to work - and looks at the etymology of the words we use to describe them, as well as how their meanings have changed over time.
