- W632457068 abstract "The English language is treasury of splendid mysteries, among them the many words and phrases whose origins we no longer know. Often the original meaning was literal, pertaining to forgotten objects or activities-such as aftermath, which once meant the grass that sprang up after farmer had mowed field. With the informal scholarship and good-humored wit that are his trademarks, Robert Claiborne reveals the wonders buried in our speech, vivid images of people and customs of the past. As the reader soon discovers, they are a sort of hidden poetry that can heighten the colors and sharpen the meanings of words and phrases that we read or write daily." @default.
