Dog Days and DandelionsA Lively Guide to the Animal Meanings Behind Everyday Words【電子書籍】[ Martha Barnette ]

<p><strong>From <em>apian</em> (like a bee) to <em>zodiac</em> (little-animals circle), a word book that spots the animal origins of words and names</strong></p> <p>There are mice in your <em>muscles</em>, and blackbirds in your <em>merlot</em>. Behind adulation is a dog's wagging tail. <em>Peculiar</em> houses a herd of cattle. <em>Grubby</em> is crawling with bugs. Wordhound Martha Barnette collects more than 300 common (and a few not-so-common) words that have surprising animal roots. Tracing word origins back to ancient Greek and Latin as well as to European roots and American slang, the entries offer a guided tour through literature, science, folklore, politics, and more--with a wilderness of animal meanings at every turn.</p> <p>For <em>fledgling</em> word <em>sleuths</em> as well as those who <em>fawn</em> over etymologies, this is a delightful smorgasbord for writers, students, and word lovers.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
