Great app for the curious
I like this app because it has a lot of cool features and doesn’t have any uncool features.
Cool features it has:
- interactive (scrollable, clickable) etymology tree
- multiple languages (you can look up a specific root of a word and get a filterable list of all other words that share it)
- word of the day, with *complete history* (this was the feature that made me think, “finally, somebody gets it!”)
- a little history of words you’ve looked for
Uncool features it doesn’t have:
- tons of obnoxious ads
- even just a small number of innocuous ads
- any ads at all, I believe
- nags, paywalls, or other frequent calls to action (I’ve been using it for a year or so, and I’ve gotten one very polite request to leave a review, and that’s why I’m here — I’m happy to do it!)
Sometimes navigation can be a little confusing, but I truly don’t care because of how great it is otherwise. I really appreciate that someone made this. Thank you!

Love the organic set up! Wonderful exploration of words and language. Love going deeply into words, their origin, snd root meanings. A must for wordsmiths, writers, poets , dreamers and explorers. I can spend many hours here with My Word Friends! ♥️

Good, could be better.
If you don’t know the origin of a word, how do you know its original meaning?
Etymology is a great app!
