Words have a fascinating history. In this book on etymology, you will learn the origin and meaning of words. One way you get a new word is by combining different parts of two words. For example, the word dinosaur comes from the Greek 'deinos', meaning terrible, and 'sauros', meaning lizard. The most common languages that created our English language are Greek and French.
