of Greek origin, the fourth column contains the intermediate 
Latin source word — if any — and column five the immediate 
Greek source word. This latter is not necessarily the ulti- 
mate Greek source word. 
The etymological history of the words in this list is that 
given in each instance in ^4.?? Etymological Dictionary of the 
English Language by Professor Walter W. Skeat, Oxford, at 
the Clarendon Press, 1910, Latin source words mentioned by 
Skeat were looked up in Harper's Latin Dictionary by Lewis 
and Short, American Book Company, 1907. If a Latin source 
word could not be found in the latter work, it was considered 
to be non-classical, and the fact was indicated by enclosing 
it in parentheses. Greek source words mentioned by Skeat 
were looked up in Liddell and Scott’s Greek-English Lexicon, 
eighth edition, American Book Company. Any not found 
there were enclosed in parentheses. It should be mentioned 
also that parentheses were used in the fifth column of the 
English list to enclose a prefix before an ultimate source word. 
For instance, the English word “conceive” has in the fourth 
column as its immediate source word “concipere” and in the 
fifth column as its ultimate source word “(con-) capere”. 
The two exceptions to the uniformity in arrangement be- 
tween the two halves of the list are as follows: In the latter 
half of the list, among the 5,000 words of less frequency, 
if the immediate and ultimate Latin source words are identi- 
cal, the ultimate Latin source word is placed in column four 
instead of in column five as in the first half of the list. If 
the immediate and ultimate source word are not identical, the 
ultimate source word is enclosed in parentheses. These two 
slight differences are of no significance and need cause no 
misunderstanding. 
The symbols used in column three to indicate the etymolog- 
ical history of the word are in the main the same as those 
used by Skeat and should be readily understood. It may be 
of assistance to state the meanings of the following symbols :
