PREFACE. 

The  ^Hnston  Simplified  Dictionary  has  been  made  to  meet  a  distinct 
need  felt  by  many  teachers.  It  is  obviously  desirable  that  eyerymie  should 
form  the  habit  of  consulting  a  dictionary.  The  dictionary  habit  will  develop 
a  more  accurate  understanding  of  the  meaning  of  words,  and  a  larger 
vocabulary.  Yoimg  people  are  apt,  however,  to  become  discouraged  in  their 
efforts  to  use  a  dictionary  if  they  do  not  find  the  desired  information  in  a  form 
they  can  readily  understand  and  use. 

Clear  and  Complete  Definitions.     One  of  the  most  important 

qualities  of  a  dictionary  should  be  that  the  definitions  be  clear  and  complete. 
Many  dictionaries  have  been  made  by  condensing  larger  ones.  This  plan  is 
apt  to  result  in  definitions  that  are  harder  to  understand  than  those  of  the 
larger  dictionary.  For  example,  a  child  ^o  finds  that  contagion  is  '' trans- 
mission of  disease''  will  fail  to  get  the  idea  unless  he  knows  the  meaning  of 
transmission.  If  he  looks  at  the  next  word,  contagiotUf  he  finds  that  it  is 
** communicable  or  spreading  by  contagion."  If  he  is  industrious  enouc^  to 
look  up  transmission,  he  finds  that  it  is  ''the  act  of  transmitting;  state  of 
being  transmitted."  He  may  look  below  to  the  verb  transmU  and  find  the 
key  to  his  problem ;  or  he  may  satisfy  himself  with  a  guess  long  before  he  has 
run  the  dedBnition  down  by  repeated  references. 

The  ^VtHnstoa  Simplified  Dictionary  makes  every  entry  clear.  At 
considerable  expense  of  space  it  explains  every  word  in  such  simple  language 
that  only  a  single  reference  will  be  needed.  For  example,  even  in  closely 
related  words  like  the  noim  transmission  and  the  verb  transmit,  each  word  is 
ccHnplete  in  itself. 

Wealth  of  Verbal  Illustration.  Thousands  of  words  are  much  more 
easQy  understood  from  their  context  in  sentences  than  from  formal  definitions. 
For  this  reason,  the  Winston  Simplified  Dictionary  gives  many  more  illus- 
trative sentences  and  phrases  than  any  other  similar  dictionary. 

Pictorial  Illustrations*  In  a  similar  way  the  meanings  of  many 
words  can  be  immediately  made  clear  by  pictures.  The  illustrations  in  this 
dictionary  are  new  pictures  prepared  for  their  teaching  value  in  clarifying 
the  meanings  of  words  that  need  pictorial  illumination. 

Typography.  The  type  used  for  each  entry  in  the  Winston  Simpli- 
fied Dictionary  is  large  and  clear,  thereby  quickly  assisting  the  location  of 
any  word.  It  is  the  result  of  careful  tests,  the  most  modem  facilities  of  the 
typemakers'  art  having  been  employed  to  produce  the  most  legible  page. 
Hie  use  of  capitals  has  been  limited  to  the  proper  nouns,  names,  etc.  The 
sedcer  thus  finds  each  word  as  it  appears  in  general  usage. 

Pronunciation.  The  pronunciation  of  words  is  indicated  by  a 
l^onetic  respeUing  with  diacritical  markings.     These  diacritical  marks  will 

Oii) 


Iv  Preface 

be  easily  understood.  No  attempt  has  been  made  to  indicate  obscure  anJ 
difficult  distinctions.  The  system  is  a  simplified  adaptation  of  those  in  most 
common  use  in  school  and  college  textbooks.  As  a  further  aid  to  obtain 
the  quick  pronimciation  of  each  word,  the  Key  to  Pronimciation  is  given 
at  the  foot  of  each  page. 

Vocabulaiy.  The  selection  of  the  vocabulary  of  the  Winston  Simplified 
Dictionary  has  been  made  with  particular  care.  It  includes  not  only  all  the 
words  in  ordinary  use,  but  also  the  vocabularies  of  the  science,  history,  civics, 
and  current  events  that  are  so  rapidly  growing  in  both  elementary  and 
secondary  schools.  Particular  attention  has  been  given  to  the  very  con- 
siderable new  vocabulary  that  has  grown  out  of  the  World  War. 

^^ecial  Features*  The  Winston  Simplified  Dictionary  includes 
several  unusual  features  calculated  to  furnish  essential  information  and 
to  stimulate  scholarly  interest.  Not  only  does  it  give  the  tables  of  weights 
and  measures,  abbreviations,  prefixes,  suffixes,  etc.,  usually  foimd  in  such 
volumes,  but  it  also  gives  a  most  valuable  chapter  entitled  "How  Our 
Language  Has  Grown,"  which  should  be  mastered  by  every  English-fipeaking 
person.  Another  feature  of  unusual  value  is  the  Dictionary  of  Mythology 
which  is  particularly  needed  in  clearing  up  allusions  not  only  to  the  mythology 
of  the  Greeks  and  Romans  but  also  to  that  of  the  Scandinavian  and  Teu- 
tonic races.  In  the  Dictionary  of  Names  and  Places  will  be  found  listed 
the  more  important  cities,  countries,  lakes,  rivers,  seas,  and  moimtains  of 
the  world,  as  well  as  the  outstanding  characters  in  history.  Men  and  women 
whose  names  stand  for  achievement  in  art,  literature,  science,  politics,  philan- 
thropy and  the  varied  branches  of  human  activity  are  mentioned.  These 
include  the  great  figures  of  the  past  as  well  as  those  living  to-day. 

The  World  War  stimulated  interest  in  the  places  where  the  fighting  was 
at  its  fiercest,  and  pains  have  been  taken  to  include  as  many  of  these  as  space 
would  permit.  Here,  too,  will  be  found  names  of  the  fighting  men  who 
were  most  prominent  in  that  great  conflict. 

The  Glossary  of  Business  Terms  also  is  of  great  value  in  these  days 
when  the  practical  affairs  of  life  are  claiming  larger  and  larger  attention  in 
schools. 

A  New  Book  on  a  New  Plan.  Winston's  Simplified  Dictionary  is 
not  a  revision  of  an  older  work  nor  an  abridgment  of  a  larger  dictionary. 
The  experienced  and  efficient  teachers  who  produced  it  have  chosen  a 
vocabulary  with  special  reference  to  educational  needs;  they  have  expanded 
and  illustrated  the  definitions  so  as  to  make  them  immediately  intelligible; 
they  have  included  the  new  words  that  are  coming  into  our  vocabulary  in 
such  profusion;  they  have  introduced  new  features  that  have  long  been 
needed  in  a  practical  everyday  dictionary  for  school  and  home,  and  have 
avoided  the  error  of  defining  difficult  words  by  repeating  the  words  them- 
selves, or  by  introducing  other  words  equally  difficult.

PUBLISHER'S  STATEMENT. 


In  a  very  literal  sense,  The  Winston  Simplified  Dictionary  is  a  new  and 
original  work.  The  publishers  feel  that  some  account  of  the  process  by  which 
it  was  made  is  due  to  the  editors,  compilers,  and  the  large  corps  of  assistants, 
who  for  more  than  three  years  worked  diligently  in  its  preparation. 

The  publishers  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  editors  as  a  basis  for  their  work 
a  dictionary  somewhat  larger  than  the  present  volume,  and  very  similar  to 
the  dictionaries  in  general  use.  This  work  was  based  on  the  foundation  laid 
by  Noah  Webster  and  other  lexicographers.  As  this  dictionary  (published  by 
ourselves)  had  been  recently  revised  and  was  in  general  use,  it  was  thought 
that  with  comparatively  little  change  it  could  be  made  to  serve  the  purpose 
of  the  present  work.  It  was  then  tested  by  the  fundamental  principle  under- 
lying the  new  work— THAT  OF  MAKING  THE  MEANING  OF  EVERY 
WORD  SO  CLEAR  THAT  EVEN  A  CHILD  COULD  NOT  FAIL  TO 
UNDERSTAND  IT.  This  test  revealed  the  essential  weakness  of  all  dic- 
tionaries made  on  any  other  principle. 

The  result  of  this  experiment,  made  necessary  an  extraordinary  amount 
of  the  most  careful,  original  work.  The  first  copy  was  revised  by  a  capable 
editor;  then  the  entire  book  was  copied  in  long-hand.  Several  experienced 
scholars  amplified,  restated  and  illustrated  the  definitions  in  galley  proof. 
New  kinds  of  material  were  introduced;  new  methods  of  clarifying  meanings 
were  discovered,  and  with  great  labor  and  expense,  the  entire  book  was  har« 
monized.  The  entire  book  was  reset,  and  further  refinements  were  insured  by 
having  every  word  revised  by  a  corps  of  experts.  Over  eight  hundred  neu 
iUti^raiions  were  made  expressly  far  thin  book. 

The  editors  whose  names  appear  on  the  title-page  divided  their  responsi-^ 
bility.  Besides  exercising  careful  judgment  on  every  question  of  method  and 
form,  one  of  them  i>assed  upon  the  simplicity  and  adequacy  of  the  definitions 
and  the  correctness  of  the  English,  and  the  other  upon  the  scientific  and 
technical  accuracy  of  all  scientific  statements. 

From  this  description  it  is  evident  that  The  Winston  Simplified  Dictionary 
represents  original  work  based  upon  careful  scholarship,  and  wide  pedagogical 
experience,  such  as  has  not  been  given  to  any  elementary  dictionary  previously 
pid)li8hed.  We  believe  that  the  editors  and  their  assistants  have  done  their 
work  well,  and  are  entitled  to  high  praise  for  their  accomplishment.  This 
dictionary  is  offered  to  the  schools  of  America  and  to  the  general  public,  in 
full  confidence  that  it  will  be  of  immense  value  to  all  who  use  it.

HOW  OUR  LANGUAGE  HAS  GROWN. 

Tlie  study  of  a  foreign  kuguage  may  have  given  you  your  first  realisa- 
tkm  of  the  relationdiip  between  English  and  the  other  langua^  of  the  world. 
When  you  be^  the  study  of  a  foreign  speech,  you  are  surprised  to  find  how 
many  words  m  the  language  you  are  studying  are  like  English  words.  If 
you  studv  Latin,  you  will  meet  parenSf  for  instance,  which  by  the  simple 
chance  of  the  s  to  t  becomes  our  English  word  parent.  The  word  rumor  is 
exactiy  like  the  English  word.  November,  tpanafero  (transfer),  and  a  great 
many  more  are  easihr  recognised  by  their  resemblance  to  English  words. 

If  vou  stud^r  Ftench,  you  will  have  the  same  experience.  In  French 
YOU  will  find,  for  instance,  annoncer,  to  announce,  consoler,  to  console,  and  a 
urge  number  of  other  words  much  like  their  English  equivalents. 

The  Engtish  language,  therefore,  is  closely  related  to  several  other, 
languages.  French  and  Anglo-Saxon  are  her  parents;  she  is  a  p^rand- 
dai^ter  of  Latin  and  a  distant  cousin  of  Greek.  And,  as  is  the  case  with  the 
descendants  of  human  famihes,  English  has  some  traits  from  all  the  languages 
which  have  helped  to  make  her  what  she  is. 

Hie  stoiy  oi  the  birth  and  development  of  English  is  most  interesting. 
Twelve  or  thirteen  centuries  ago  Endand  was  not  the  busy,  important  island 
she  is  now,  but  was  covered  with  forests  and  inhabited  by  tne  Britons,  a 
people  belonging  to  a  race  called  the  Celts.  They  used  one  of  the  f  onns  of 
the  Celtic  language,  for  no  English  language  was  then  in  existence. 

Over  on  the  eastern  coast  of  Europe,  where  your  maps  now  show  3rou 
Denmaric  and  Holland  and  Germany,  hved  tribes  of  bold  and  cruel  pirates 
called  the  An^ks,  the  Saxons,  and  the  Jutes.  These  peoples  spoke  a  language 
somewhat  like  the  present  German  language,  or  perhaps  more  like  the  Dutch 
spoken  in  Holland.  These  pirates,  in  their  many-oared  boats,  made  their 
way  to  the  coast  of  Britain  m  search  of  food  or  of  treasure,  cut  once  oil 
the  shores  of  the  island,  they  found  this  land  so  much  pleasanter  than  their 
own  cold  and  stormy  home  on  the  other  side  of  the  North  Sea  that  many 
of  them  decided  to  stay  and  make  new  homes  for  themselves  in  Britain. 

And  thus  srew  up  in  Britain  the  Anglo-Saxon  tongue,  a  result  of  the 
mixture  of  the  torms  of  German  spoken  by  the  two  strongest  invading  tribes. 
The  name  of  the  country,  too,  was  changed,  and  became  Angleland  or  Engelond, 
taking  the  name  of  one  of  the  pirate  tribes.  From  this  it  is  easy  to  see  how 
the  name  became  England  and  the  language  came  to  be  called  English. 

Thou^  at  first  Anglo-Saxon  words  seem  entirely  unfamiliar,  a  closer 
studv  will  show  you  a  number  whose  resemblance  to  English  is  easily  recog- 
nisable. Morgen  tid  is  easily  converted  into  morning  tide.  Godes  means 
of  Qod  or  God*s,  for  the  apostrophe  has  come  to  take  the  place  of  the  e  in  the 
Old  English  possessive.  Conael  becomes  cctndle  by  only  a  slight  change, 
and  beorht  merely  shifts  the  position  of  r  and  changes  eo  to  h^  to  become 
brighL 

A  rathev  hasty  study  shows  how  nearly  related  are  English  and  Angkv 
Saxon.  But  there  is  another  interesting  fact  to  be  observ^  in  this  study. 
The  life  of  these  people  was  so  simple  that  it  was  occupied  chiefly  with  the 
simplest  needs  of  existence-— eating  and  drinking  and  keeping  themselves 
alive  in  spite  of  many  foes.  It  naturally  foUowedf  that  the  woras  that  have 
been  inherited  by  modem  English  from  the  Anglo-Saxon  tongue  are  for  the 
most  part  simple  words.  These  simple  words  are  sometimes  called  "homdy 
wofds,"   because  they  ''come  home^'  to  people  as  the  everyday  words  ot 

(vii) 


viii  How  Our  Language  Has  Grown 

everydav  life.  Such  words  are  home,  light,  fire,  God.  In  this  list  are  also 
included  most  of  our  common  prepositions  and  conjunctions,  such  as  to, 
from,  over,  and. 

A  new  element  was  brought  into  the  language,  however,  by  the  intro- 
duction of  Christianity  in  the  sixth  and  seventh  centuries.  The  Anrio- 
Saxons  were  heathens,  worshiping  many  gods  who,  they  beheved,  presided 
over  the  forces  of  nature.  Thus  there  were  Thor,  the  thunderer,  famous 
for  his  strength,  and  Balder,  the  sun  god,  and  Eastee  (compare  Easter),  the 
goddess  of  spring.  But  in  the  year  59/  there  came  from  Rome  a  missionary 
of  the  Christian  religion,  named  St.  Augustine.  Other  missionaries  followed 
him,  who  established  the  church  in  Britam  and  converted  many  of  the  people. 
The  church  services  were  read  in  Latin.  And  so  there  came  into  the  language 
a  number  of  Latin  words,  some  of  them  haviag  a  Greek  origin.  These  words, 
for  the  most  part,  have  to  do  with  religion  and  the  church,  as  bishop,  priest, 
creed,  and  similar  words.  Such  words  do  not  come  to  us  directly  from  the 
Latin.  As  they  were  used  by  the  Anelo-Saxons,  they  came  to  oe  slightly 
changed.  The  word  bishop  will  show  how  such  modifications  came  about. 
The  Latin  form  was  episcopus  (compare  the  Knglish  word  episcopal — ^per- 
taining to  a  bishop) ;  imder  the  influence  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  it  became  biacop, 
for  the  tendency  of  the  simple,  unlearned  English  was  to  shorten  the  lon^, 
ponderous  Latin  words,  and  to  change  a  p  into  a  b;  our  modem  word  is 
oishop,  the  c  being  changed  to  h  for  the  sake  of  greater  smoothness  in  pro- 
nunciation. Similar  changes  took  place  in  many  of  the  other  Latin  words 
which  at  this  time  enriched  the  language. 

But  the  most  important  new  element  was  jret  to  come.  In  1966  a  band 
of  men  from  the  continent  of  Europe,  imder  the  leadership  of  William  of 
Normandy,  known  as  William  the  Conqueror,  landed  in  England.  These 
people,  known  as  Normans,  or  Norman  French,  came  from  a  district  in  the 
northwestern  part  of  France,  called  Normandy.  As  their  name  shows,  the 
Normans  were  ori^uiallv  Northmen,  from  the  shores  of  Denmark,  Sweden, 
and  Norway.  Durmg  their  piratical  raids  they  had  often  landed  on  the  coast 
of  France,  and  being  pleased  with  the  fertile  soil  and  the  bcilmy  climate,  had 
at  last  forced  the  king  of  France  to  grant  them  some  territory,  and  made 
permanent  homes  for  themselves  in  the  land. 

But  the  Northmen  had  adopted  the  civilization  and,  in  lar^  part,  the 
language  of  the  French.  This  language  was  a  form  of  the  Latm  Luiguage. 
for  the  Gauls^  ancestors  of  the  French, liad  been  subjects  of  the  Romans  ancl 
had  used  their  speech,  adapting  it  to  their  own  speech  and  needs.  Thus  the 
Norman  French  spoken  by  William  of  Normandy  and  his  followers  was  a 
tongue  founded  on  the  Latin,  or,  as  it  is  often  called,  a  Romance  language, 
because  it  was  one  of  those  languages  based  on  the  speech  of  the  Romans. 

Thus  was  brought  into  England  an  entirely  new  language  family.  And 
it  had  come  to  stay;  for  the  Normans  in  a  snre&t  battle  conquered  the  Saxon 
king,  Harold,  and  William  became  king  of  England.  As  the  Normans  were 
now  the  ruling  race  on  the  island,  French  became  the  language  used  in  law 
courts,  the  language  of  hterature,  of  the  rich,  and  of  the  nobles.  French 
was  taught  in  the  schools.  It  was  used  at  the  court  of  the  king.  It  waa  the 
language  of  writing. 

The  Ando-Saxons,  however,  who  hated  the  Normans  as  their  conquerors 
and  despised  the  French  language  as  the  language  of  ithe  conquerors,  clung 
to  their  native  tongue.  Thus  for  a  long  time  the  two  languages  existed  side 
by  side — French,  the  language  of  the  noble,  rich,  and  educated;  Saxon, 
the  speech  of  the  simple  and  the  poor. 

As  time  wore  on,  however,  contempt  on  one  hand  and  bitter  hatred 
on  the  other  gave  way  to  a  feeling  of  interest  and  friendship.  The  people 
ceased  to  be  French  and  Anglo-Saxon,  and  became  Englishmen,  citizens 
of  a  common  country.      It  thus  became  more  and  more  necessary  that  all 


How  Our  Language  Has  Grown  ix 

the  people  be  able  to  communicate  with  each  other;  Normans  used  more 
AnfiJoSSron,  Anglo-Saxons  more  French.  The  result  was  a  new  language, 
the  slow  growth  of  many  years,  the  vocabulary  of  which  was  largely  Anglo- 
Saxon,  the  grammar,  largely  French.         .       .      ,     ,        ,    . ,  ,       , 

As  we  noticed  that  the  words  expressing  smiple.  homely  ideas  are  largely 
from  Anglo-Saxon,  so  the  language  of  learning  and  formal  speech  is  from  the 
French;  for  the  Norman  French  were  more  highly  civilized  and  educated 
than  the  Saxons.  As  the  French  had  Latin  as  its  foundation,  a  large  Latm 
element  came,  in  changed  form,  with  the  French  into  English.  The  foUowmg 
table  wdU  help  to  make  this  clear:

It  is  thus  to  Anglo-Saxon  that  we  look  back  as  the  source  of  our  familiar^ 
everyday  speech;  to  Latin,  through  French,  as  that  ton^e  which  has 
enriched  and  dignified  our  language  with  the  terms  of  science,  learning^ 
and  more  formal  speech. 

The  Norman  Trench  was  the  last  great  influence  brought  to  bear  upon 
the  English  language.  Year  by  year,  century  by  century,  fiiglish  has  ^wn 
and  changed.  How  different  from  present-day  English,  for  mstancey  is  the 
language  of  Shakespeare! 

These  changes  come  about  in  various  ways.  Sometimes  words  creep 
into  the  language  from  foreign  tongues,  as,  for  example,  the  French  word 
chic,  stylish,  or  the  Latin  expression  vice  versa,  which  have  now  become  a 
real  part  of  the  English  language.  Often  woros  drop  out  of  use  altogether 
or  come  gradually  to  have  new  meanings.  Thus  the  old  word  dept,  meaning 
named,  and  an,  meaning  if,  are  no  longer  used.  The  word  humorous  originaUy 
mean^  not  funny  or  causing  laught^,  but  full  of  whims;  straighi  meant  at* 
one  time  inunediately.  as  sSiakespeare  writes,  "I'll  be  with  you  straight" 
Presently  formerly  had  the  same  meaning;  when  a  man  said,  "I  will  come 
presently,"  he  meant  immediaidy  and  not  in  a  short  time,  which  is  our  modem 
meaning.  Again,  new  conditions  and  new  inventions  call  for  new  words. 
Thus  automobile  and  phonograph  and  airplane  and  many,  many  more  words 
came  into  the  language  as  the  things  they  name  came  mto  existence.  Such 
words,  too,  as  mugwump,  carpet^gger,  landslide  were  originally  political 
slang,  but  are  now  recosmzed  parts  of  the  English  l£mgua(|e.  So  atso,  any 
one  can  give  numerous  illustrations  of  new  words  that  came  mto  the  language 
during  the  World  War.  Some  such  change  in  our  speech  is  brought  to  peso 
fdmoet  ever^  day. 

Such,  m  outline,  is  the  story  of  the  growth  of  the  English  tongue — a 
l^wth  which  will  never  cease  as  long  as  English  is  spoken.  For  language 
18  alive,  a  real  being,  growing,  developing,  changing,  as  man,  as  the  raoe, 
grows,  develops,  changes,  and  oearing  from  year  to  year  traces  of  the  history 
€t  the  race. 

Making  Nbw  Words 

Now  that  3rou  know  something  of  the  history  of  our  language,  you  will 
be  interested  to  learn  how  some  of  the  separate  words  became  a  part  of  the 


X  How  Our  Language  Has  Grown 

EogliBh  language,  and  how  some  have  been  put  together  and  built  up  from 
others. 

Interesting  stories  are  connected  with  manv  of  our  words.  Have  you 
«ver  wondereOi  for  instanoCi  why  two  slices  of  bread  wiUi  meat  or  some 
other  food  between  them  is  called  a  sandwich?     In  the  ei^^teenth  oentury 


the  table  tried  the  same  experiment.  The  new  daintv  soon  srew  popular, 
and  was  named  after  the  man  who  invented  it.  the  Earl  of  Sandwich. 

Another  instance  of  a  "story  word"  is  the  word  palace^  meaning  the 
house  where  a  kine  or  a  wealthy  and  important  person  lives.  This  was  so 
named  from  the  PaGitiumy  one  of  the  seven  hills  of  Rcmie,  where  lived  Augustus^ 
the  first  great  Roman  Emperor. 

Many  more  such  story  words  might  be  mentioned;  but  there  are  other 
and  more  common  ways  in  which  words  are  adopted  into  the  Plnglish  language. 
As  we  shall  see,  one  of  the  most  common  ways  is  by  fitting  together  parts 
of  words  from  other  tongues,  especially  from  Latin  and  from  Uerman.  Most 
words  of  more  than  one  syllable  are  formed  of  two  or  more  distinct  parts. 
The  most  important  part,  or  foundation,  of  the  word — ^the  part  that  really 
^ves  the  thought  of  the  word — ^is  called  the  root  or  the  siem.  For  instances 
m  the  srord  marine  the  stem  is  fnor,  from  the  Latin  word  mare  (pronounced 
m&-r&),  meaning  sea.  Thus  marine  means  pertaining  to  the  sea;  we  have 
extended  its  meaning  so  that  we  say  that  marines  are  sailors  of  the  sea,  and 
marine  trade  means  trade  on  the  sea.  The  same  stem  appears  in  the  words 
mariUme  and  manner.  The  stem  of  the  word  dictate  is  atd,  meaning  speak 
or  savt  a  stem  which  we  find  also  in  such  words  as  predict^  to  say  bdfore  or 
foretell,  contradict,  to  say  against  or  oppose,  and  dictionary,  that  which  savs. 
The  stem  of  the  Latin  word  for  foot  is  pfd  Sowehavepedasasteminpetzo^ 
quadruped,  and  pedestrian. 

In  many  words  there  are  two  parts  of  eoual  importance,  or  two  stems. 
Such  a  word  is  phonograph,  Phon  is  a  Greek  stem  meaning  sound,  found 
also  in  telephone,  megaphone,  and  other  words;  graph  is  also  a  Greek  stem 
meaning  write.  You  will  recognize  it  in  such  words  as  telegraph,  autoffraph, 
and  paragraph,  A  phonograph,  then,  in  its  literal  meaning,  is  a  contnvance 
tiiat  writes  sounds. 

The  word  thermometer  is  another  two-stem  word.  Thermo  is  from  a 
Greek  word  meaning  heat,  and  meter  is  a  common  stem  meaning  measure. 
Thus  a  th^mometer  is  an  instrument  that  measures  heat,  as  a  thermostat 
is  a  device  for  keeping  the  temperature  of  a  room  always  the  same.  For 
thermo,  as  we  have  seen,  means  heat  and  stat  is  from  a  Greek  word  meaning 
to  stand  still.  Many  more  such  words  of  two  stems  you  will  find  from  a 
studyof  an  unabridged  dictionary. 

Words  of  one  stem,  however,  are  much  more  common  than  those  of 
two  or  more.  Most  words  have  just  one  imporUnt  part  whose  meaning 
is  more  or  leas  changed  by  a  less  important  syllable.  It  this  syllable  is  put 
before  ast^n,  it  is  ciuled  a  pre^;  if  it  is  added  after  a  stem,  it  is  called  a  sumx. 

A  knowledge  of  prefixes  and  suffixes  is  a  great  help  to  a  fuller  under- 
standing of  English  words.  A  prefix  usually  alters  the  meaning  of  the  word 
itself,  and  the  suffix  chtmges  the  part  of  speech.  Thus  if  to  fiie  word  take 
we  prefix  mis,  the  meanins  becomes  to  take  wrongl^r,  or  to  make  an  error; 
for  mie  means  wrongly.  If,  however,  we  add  to  ntikake  the  suffix  en.  the 
word  is  changed  from  a  verb  to  an  adjective,  though  the  meaning  of  the 
word  itself  is  not  changed.  Again,  to  prefix  trans  to  the  word  plant  adds 
to  the  original  meaning  the  idea  of  removal  from  place  to  place,  but  to  add 
to  transpwnt  the  suffix  (Me  merely  makes  the  word  an  adjective  without 
changing  the  tiiought.

n&  foUowmg  table  will  help  you  to  see  how  words  aie  built  up  from 
stems,  prefixes,  and  suffixes.  Notice  that,  thou^  the  literal  meanins  and 
the  meanins  in  common  use  are  by  no  means  always  the  same,  yet  the  uteral 
"MMfc«*»ffr  he[ps,  decidedly,  the  understanding  of  the  word.  Notice  also  that 
the  pidix  frequently  becomes  changed  in  form  for  the  sake  of  greater  ease 
in  pronunciation.  Thus  ad,  meaning  to  or  for  or  agaxruty  becomes  ac  when 
used  with  a  stem  whose  first  letter  is  c,  as  in  the  words  accept  (ac^  to:  cep(, 
take*take  to  oneself)  and  accede  {ac,  to;  eaefe.  yield  "-yield  to).  When  ad 
\b  placed  before  a  stem  beginning  with  f,ihea  becomes  /.  Such  a  change 
has  taken  place,  for  instance,  in  the  word  affix  (af^  to;  fix,  fasten « fasten  to). 
Again  am  oecomes  col  when  used  before  a  stem  whose  mitial  letter  is  I,  as 
in  the  word  coUed  (col,  together;  led,  to  gather  "gather  together).

The  Latin  roots,  prefixes,  and  suffixes,  however,  form  by  no  means  the 
whole  of  the  English  language.  They  have  been  spoken  of  first  because  they 
are  the  easiest  to  understand,  as  they  are  Uttle  changed,  in  form  and  meaning, 
from  the  original.  The  real  strength  of  the  language,  the  more  familiar, 
simpler  words,  the  words  of  common,  everyday  speech,  are  Teutonic  in 
origm.  They  were  brought  into  England  by  Teutonic  tribes,  the  Angles 
and  the  Saxons,  who  settled  there  in  the  fifth  century. 

A  study  01  the  following  list  of  Anglo-Saxon  words  will  give  some  idea

A  comparison  of  these  stems  with  the  Latin  stems  mentioned  above 
will  show  that  the  Ando-Saxon  stems  have  been  far  more  changed  in  their 
conversion  into  English  words  than  have  the  Latin.  These  changes,  how- 
ever, have  come  about  for  the  very  reason  that  the  Anglo-Saxon  is  me  oldest 
element  of  our  language  and  has  thus  been  much  altered  because  of  the 
paasajnB  of  many  centuries  and  the  influence  of  other  tongues  brousht  later

suffixes.

Another  kind  of  words  which  come  to  ua  from  the  Anglo-Saxon  is  the 
group  of  ''self-explaininff''  phrase  compounds.  Such  woras  are  offhand, 
meanwhile,  thraughouty  nooodif  oftentimeSf  whenever,  and  a  number  of  others 
which  will  readily  occur  to  you.  For  the  Old  English  was  rich  in  words 
formed  by  the  umon  of  two  independent  words. 

From  the  word  land^  for  instance,  there  were  once  sixty-three  compounds. 
Most  of  these  are  no  longer  part  of  the  language,  thou^  some  remain,  as 
landlord  and  landmark. 

Though  the  Anglo-Saxon  langiiagge  forms,  as  has  been  shown,  the  basis 
of  the  English  language,  and  the  Latm  has  made  a  verv  large  contributicm, 
no  small  part  of  our  vocabulary  has  been  transferred  bomly  from  other 
lansiuages  besides  these  two.  Italy,  Spain,  India,  Arabia,  the  West  Indies, 
all  nave  contributed  their  share.  From  Italy  we  have  borrowed  many  terms 
pertaining  to  music  and  to  the  refinements  of  cultured  life.  Such  words 
are  Wfretto,  crescendo,  balcony,  cameo,  intaglio,  caiacomb.  Spain  has  con- 
tributed many  words  naming  commercial  products,  as  indigo,  guaoa,  vanUla, 
aUioator,  as  well  as  some  others  such  as  matador  and  mosquUo.  From  Holland 
and  Scandinavia  come  words  pertaining  to  commerce  and  the  sea,  amons 
which  are  schooner,  wagon,  yacht,  skipper,  sloop.  India  and  Arabia  with 
their  products  sent  words  naming  them,  such  as  chintz,  candy,  orange,  borax, 
divcm,  alcohol,  amber,  coffee,  cotton.  Biblical  literature  brings  us  Hebrew 
terms,  as  cherub,  jvbuee,  amen,  alleltiia.  ephod. 

America's  contributions  to  the  Knglish  language  have  come  from  the 
Mexicans,  from  the  peoples  of  South  America  ana  the  West  Indies,  and 
from  the  North  American  Indians.  From  Mexico  come  chocclaU,  coyoU, 
tomato;  from  South  America,  tapioca,  guano,  jaguar,  quinine,  alpaca:  mm 
the  West  Indies,  hurricane,  maize,  pdaio.  The  North  American  Indians 
have  given  us  such  terms  as  moccasin,  moose^  raccoon,  tobacco,  squaw,  papoose — 
words  which  name  things  common  in  an  Indian's  daily  life. 

In  this  way  has  the  whole  world  contributed  and  still  is  contributing 
to  the  language  of  the  English-speaking  peoples.  What  wonder,  then,  thiS 
the  F^n^iah  tongue  is  full  and  rich  and  flexible?  Its  wealth  of  meaning,  its 
beauty,  its  power,  are  the  result  of  centuries  of  growth  and  of  the  gifts  bestowed 
by  East  and  We«t.  by  North  and  South.  Such  a  heritage  may  well  be  tha 
pride  of  every  Tgngiiahmim  and  every  American .

EXPLANATORY  NOTES. 

Varied  SpeDiiigs.  If  two  or  more  variations  of  the  spelling  of  a  single 
word  exist,  the  rule  followed  is  to  let  each  appear  in  its  proper  alphabetical 
place  in  the  list,  with  pronunciation,  definition,  etc.,  given  as  usual,  followed 
by  "Also,''  and  the  variant  in  heavy  type.  An  exception  is  made  to  this 
rule  when  the  position  of  the  two  variants  is  consecutive  or  practicafly  so. 
In  this  case,  the  word  given  first,  and  defined,  is  that  selected  as  prefeiable. 
For  illustration,  see  oegis  and  fusUeer. 

Analogoiis  Fonns.  In  cases  where  two  derivatives  from  the  same  root 
word  are  practically  identical  in  meaning,  the  less  common  one  has  been 
given  in  heavy  type,  with  ''Also,''  and  has  not  been  listed  elsewhere.  See 
(uxusatcry,  acceptabilUy,  Cross  references  have  occasionally  been  U8ed« 
with  ''Also,"  in  words  almost  identical  in  meaning.    See  htaiher. 

Capitals.  When  the  word  listed  is  a  proper  noun  or  adjective,  it 
appears  in  the  vocabulary  with  a  capital.  If  it  has  two  forms,  one  common, 
one  proper,  the  form  given  in  the  vocabulary  is  the  original  or  more  impor- 
tant form  of  the  word,  the  other  being  repeated  beneath,  with  the  definition 
belonging  to  it.     See  genesis. 

Hyphens.  Alight  hyphen  is  used  to  mark  division  into  syllables,  except 
after  an  accented  syllable;  as,  e^ab'o-raie,  A  heavy  hyphen  is  used  to 
separate  the  parts  of  a  compound  word;  as,  fa'ther<n4aw. 

Pronunciation.  Pronunciation  of  every  word  in  the  vocabulary  ii 
given  in  parenthesis  immediately  after  the  word.  If  a  word  serves  as  more 
jTii^n  one  part  of  speech,  and  the  second  is  pronounced  differently  from  the 
first,  the  pronunciation  of  the  second  is  inserted  in  parenthesis  after  the  name 
of  the  part  of  speech.    See  altemaie. 

Grammatical  Information.  Principal  parts  of  verbs  are  given  in 
brackets  after  the  name  of  the  part  of  speech  (v.i.  or  v.t.),  if  the  verb  is 
irregular  or  if  they  are  desirable  for  other  reasons.  Similarly,  irregular  plurals 
of  nouns  and  comparative  and  superlative  degrees  of  adjectives  are  given  in 
brackets. 

Etymology*  No  attempt  has  been  made  to  analyze  sources  of  words, 
except  when  a  word  or  phrase  has  been  adopted  bodily  from  a  foreign  language. 
In  that  case  the  name  of  the  foreign  language  appears  in  brackets  after  the 
definition. 

Derivatives.  Certain  derivative  words  which  come  directly  from  words 
listed  in  the  vocabulary  are  given  after  the  definition  of  the  original  wofd» 
with  the  part  of  speech  of  the  derivative  indicated.     See  adorabU.

There  are  in  use  two  methods  of. pronouncing  Latin:  one.  the  co-called  English  method, 
follows  in  general  the  principles  of  English  pronunciation;  the  other,  the  so-called  Romao 
method,  follows  more  or  less  closely  the  pronunciation  of  the  ancient  Romans  themaelyes. 
The  English  pronunciation  is  still  g^ierally  used  for  I^atin  sdentiflc  terms,  for  names,  phrases, 
and  quotations  in  English  context.  The  proper  accentuation  and  syllabification  acoordins 
to  the  Roman  method  is  tiere  indicated  for  all  Latin  words  and  phrases.  Then  the  pronuncia- 
tion of  the  word  or  phrase  according  to  the  English  method  follows  in  parentheses;  as.  di'ri-go 
idlrl-g5).  A  Latin  grammar  shoiBd  be  consulted  for  further  details  of  the  Roman  pronun-

The  Meter,  unit  of  length,  is  nearly  the  ten-millionth  part  of  a  quadrant 
of  a  meridian,  or  the  distance  between  EauatOr  and  Pole.  The  International 
Standard  Meter  is,  practically,  a  length  defined  by  the  distance  between  two 
lines  on  a  platinum-indium  bar  at  o®  Centigrade,  deposited  at  the  International 
Bureau  of  Weights  and  Measures,  Paris,  Fiance. 

The  Liter,  unit  of  capacity,  is  derived  from  the  weight  of  one  kilogram 
pure  water  at  greatest  density,  a  cube  whose  edge  is  one-tenth  of  a  meter  and, 
therefore,  the  one-thousandth  part  of  a  metric  ton: 

The  Gram,  unit  of  weight,  is  a  cube  of  pure  water  at  greatest  density, 
whose  edge  is  one-hundredtn  of  a  meter,  and,  therefore,  the  one-thousandth 
part  of  a  kilogram,  and  the  one-millionth  part  of  a  metric  ton. 

The  Metric  System  was  legalized  in  the  United  States  on  July  28, 1866.
