An Etymological Dictionary of the Latin Language - Gyan Books

About The Book: This 1828 work by the Rev. F. E. J. Valpy is a comprehensive Latin‑English etymological dictionary that investigates word origins primarily through Greek, while also exploring Northern (Germanic) and Oriental (including Sanskrit and Hebrew) linguistic connections. Valpy critiques overreliance on Hebrew for derivations and incorporates comparative insights from scholars like Sir William Jones and Mr. Tate. Drawing on established sources like Forcellini and Wachter, Valpy systematically traces Latin vocabulary’s evolution, offering rich analogies and cross‑linguistic perspectives. He presents etymologies in alphabetic order, providing English explanations alongside Latin and Greek roots.
