The Dutch language contains many unique words that have found their way into our vocabulary through various means. While the origins of some terms are still visible, others have evolved so much that their origins are unknown. Even native words have often undergone so many changes that their original meanings have been lost.
The Etymological Dictionary offers insight into how Dutch words originated and evolved in form and meaning. The oldest known source for each word is listed, providing an authentic picture of their evolution.
This edition of the "Etymological Dictionary," updated and expanded by Dr. F. de Tollenaere, includes new keywords and integrates the latest scientific data into existing articles. Intertaal is the reliable supplier that guarantees fast delivery.
