内容介绍：

This dictionary gives the origins of some 20,000 items from the modern English vocabulary, discussing them in groups that make clear the connections between words derived by a variety of routes from originally common stock. As well as giving the answers to questions about the derivation of individual words, it is a fascinating book to browse through, since every page points out links with other entries. It is easy to pursue such trails as the longer articles are written as continuous prose clearly divided up by means of numbered paragraphs and subheadings, and there is a careful system of cross-references. In addition to the main A-Z listing, there are extensive lists of prefixes, suffixes, and elements used in the creation of new vocabulary.

作者介绍：

Eric Honeywood Partridge (6 February 1894 – 1 June 1979) was a New Zealand/British lexicographer of the English language, particularly of its slang. His writing career was interrupted only by his service in the Army Education Corps and the RAF correspondence department during World War II. Partridge died in Moretonhampstead, Devon, in 1979.

非常经典的词源词典。以下是《汉语印欧语词汇比较》对该词典的评价：

　　……该书初版于1958年，是根据各语言此前完成的词源词典，吸取其丰富的资料和在编写方式上的长处，全部重新整理编写的（见作者自序，下同）。由于篇幅限制，E.Partridge排除了一些词。但是，他所设立的体系和横向的资料来源，使“Origins”“覆盖了更为宽阔的领域，尤其是对所有重要的词作了更为充实和透彻的解释”。未收入词条的是一部分科技术语、方言、行业术语和俚语，以及没有词源关系的外来词。这些没有收入的现代英语词条与追溯古印欧语词源关系不大，该书因此反而更明晰、精炼……由于荟萃了此前历史比较语言学的研究成果，该书收入的语言资料，特别是古印欧语资料相当丰富……。
