How and Why Words
Change Meaning
Over the years, many common English words
have changed meaning in fascinating, unusual,
and unexpected ways. For example:
Meat was originally a term used to describe
any type of food. It then narrowed in meaning
to describe an entire meal, such as breakfast
or dinner, and finally settled into the meaning
we know today: the flesh of animals as used
for food.
The word adamant came into English around
855
ce. as a
synonym for diamond, very dif¬
ferent from today s meaning of the word:
utterly unyielding in attitude or opinion.
Before the year
1200,
the word
d
illy meant
blessed, and was derived from Old English
daelig, meaning happy. This word went
through several incarnations before adopting
today s meaning: stupid or foolish.
With the help of historical, cultural, and
literary anecdotes, Semantic
Anticé
takes
readers on a fun, in-depth A-Z journey to
learn how hundreds of words have evolved
from one meaning to the next.
SOL
STEINMETZ,
a
well-known
lexicographer, has published over
35
dictionaries and reference books.
He is a former editorial director of
Random House Reference.
