Very informative and helpful.
Etymonline helps words sing!
So easily being able to trace the roots of words feels like ancient secrets are being whispered to me. Words are truly alive and they sing their truth through their origins.
A must have for language lovers
A fantastic, curated, human-written repository of word origins that help me better understand what’s being said and increase my vocabulary.
This app is so Inclusive
I Appeeciate this App Heavily

Than when I’m able to trace a root at a moment’s notice. Most wholesome, generative, inspiring & playful app! Everyone deserves a pocket etymological dictionary this robust & useful! Great UI 10/10; 5 ⭐️

Etymonline (English)
Understanding the true nature of a word involves tracing the meaning and context far beyond what its modern usage may imply.
This is usually not a matter of severe importance for most (which is perfectly fine), but for a few, it is absolutely essential that it is observed!
Yes, one may understand and use only the most common meaning alone, however, full comprehension comes from knowing the container of information and historical context from which the language emerges.
This app provides a useful reference tool as a service, to guide one’s own knowledge of what words mean today, as well as the way they were once used.
Thank you so much for creating this for us!

Rediscovery of Meaning
In a world that has lost the substance & truth of meaning & history, including with words, ETYMONLINE provides a map by which we can rediscover substance & truth.

favorite app ever
favorite app ever i love you etymonline you changed my life
Essential
Dock this app
Make the Lion logo the app icon!!
I love etymonline and use it all the time. It answers all my questions. But PLEASE update the app icon. All caps black letter is impossible to read. The book symbol doesn’t match the branding. You already have an epic logo of a winged lion. Just use that!! It’s hard to find this app in a sea of book related icons

Great and…
Great just not a huge fan of a subscription to remove the ads. A one time payment would be cool. Thank you for adding dark mode.
Handy!
Easy to use, esp like tracing word origin way back
