Summary:
Tomado de Amazon: "The Etymologicon is a completely unauthorized guide to the strange underpinnings of the English language. It explains: how you get from “gruntled” to
“disgruntled”; why you are absolutely right to believe that your meager salary barely covers “money for salt”; how the biggest chain of coffee shops in the world (hint: Seattle) connects to
whaling in Nantucket; and what precisely the Rolling Stones have to do with gardening."
