    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.
