Hi All, if any of you know of good books on history of how
(i) words within the same language have their meaning/use changed significantly over centuries
and/or,
(ii) how words from one language/culture moved to a different language/culture so that the connection is no longer recognizable in modern days
please recommend. The book should not be technical/textbook type, instead it should be written for general readers discussing interesting examples of above kind. To give you the context, I took interest in above topic after reading Robert Langdon books, where several instances of this kind are mentioned.
Thanks.
