  • Summary

  • Where did all those different English words come from? In this episode we're uncovering the origins of some words.


    First, we explore how to trace the roots of words with a guide from Harvard University Library, emphasizing key tools like the Oxford English Dictionary. Then, we turn to Babbel for a fun look at how English borrows words from languages like German, Greek, and Old Norse. Finally, Merriam-Webster explains how new words are created through processes like clipping, blending, and more. Discover the rich history behind the words we use every day!
