Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Shakespeare Word-Book: Being a Glossary of Archaic Forms and Varied Usages of Words Employed by Shakespeare
The derivation of words is given only in obscure cases where it is considered that their etymology may to some extent illuminate their meaning. The treatment of the subject, therefore, even in the instances given, does not profess to be so exhaustive as to satisfy a philological expert.
