Just found this: Online Etymology Dictionary.

That's ... I've no idea how that rates as a source, but just the idea of it ... I love etymology, and the evolution of the sense of words, tracing them back and seeing how one concept became another. Also the way words can be broken down, so you can see what influence the pieces have on the meaning of the whole, but I'm not sure if that's the same thing. Heh. But ... oooh! Awesome! *grins*

I'm in a mood at present. Introspective, curious, prone to pouncing on odd little things and worrying at them. Heh. Forgive me.



Also, and randomly, I love the word 'cede'. I found the dictionary in the last post looking it up again, too, so it's not just a pretty word, but one that leads you places. *grins* Those are good words.
