Name, please. Inquiring word nerds must know more.

It's a French book but there's a good etymological dictionary of Greek in English online: https://archive.org/details/etymological-dictionary-of-greek_202306/mode/1up

I'm cool with a book being in French. I have a Spanish language etymological dictionary, too. I kind of collect etymology sources, actually - I've got another etymology book of the English language, and even one of Persian.

Which is why your link is going right into my Favorites list. ❤️

My book is an older (and cheaper 😅) version of this book: Pierre Chantraine, Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue grecque
