Book description
¿Quién no se ha preguntado alguna vez por qué los azulejos reciben ese nombre si suelen ser de los más variados colores, o por qué la chaqueta también se llama americana, o cómo surgen las palabras yuyu o chuchería? Recuerda el autor la cara de asombro de una alumna cuando contó en clase algo tan obvio como que el boquerón se llama así por el tamaño de su boca en comparación con el de su cabeza, y eso que sus padres tenían una pescadería.En este libro se pretende dar contestación a preguntas que nos surgen cotidianamente sobre las palabras, lo que significan, su origen e historia. No es un diccionario etimológico por más que se pretenda escudriñar algo de la verdad que encierran y que habitualmente no se manifiesta;etimología significa, precisamente, lo verdadero de las palabras. Aquí se busca a través del origen de cada una de ellas, la explicación de su forma actual y significado, de las relaciones que mantienen con otras voces.El mundo de las palabras resulta fascinante. Conocerlas sirve para enriquecernos, para saber algo más sobre el léxico y sobre nosotros mismos. Esta obra viene a des velarnos las huellas que el paso de los años ha ido dejando en la lengua y por qué y cómo se han originado las palabras que utilizamos en nuestro hablar cotidiano.
