If you split the language
History and culture are visible

All languages, including English, did not have their current form from the beginning.
If we trace back the history of English words, we finally reach their roots (etymology).
In the process of exploring and finding its roots, we encounter the diverse history and culture of mankind.
I'll introduce just three of the 365 stories in "1 Page a Day, 365 English Etymology" as a taste.


First, let's look at the word 'ketchup'.
Where did this word come from? The British who arrived in the Malay Peninsula in the 19th century were also very interested in local cuisine.
One day, an English gentleman stopped by a Chinese restaurant and saw a fermented fish sauce called 'Kuechiip'.
It is the Chinese pronunciation of the Chinese character 鮭汁, meaning fish juice.
Later, the British made a tomato-based sauce without fish, and called it 'ketchup'.

The arm guards worn by soldiers in medieval Europe were called brassiere in French.
In French, bras means 'arm'.
In modern French, brassier refers to a vest or marine life jacket worn by children.
However, when this word entered English, it was reborn as 'brassiere', a women's underwear.
The semantic link can be understood by thinking of the similarity between wearing a bra and a life jacket.


The etymology of the word 'shampoo' is also interesting.
The word shampoo comes from the Sanskrit word chapati, an ancient Indian word.
It is a word with the same meaning as ‘press,’ ‘knead,’ or ‘relax.’
The cool and soft feeling that modern people feel when washing their hair at a beauty salon is the origin of the word shampoo.

Korea's first customized Korean
English Etymology Humanities Textbook

This book was written by Professor Kim Dong-seop, one of Korea's leading linguists.
The author, who majored in French language and linguistics in France, is a rare linguist in Korea who has long studied the humanities background of language, including history, culture, mythology, and religion.
He has consistently dedicated himself to colorfully interpreting Western history and mythology through various languages, including ancient Greek, Latin, medieval French, and medieval English.
This book is the definitive edition of a general etymological humanities textbook, presented to the general public based on the author's accumulated academic skills and outstanding writing skills.

Recently, public interest in English etymology has been increasing.
However, most foreign translations are only familiar to English-speaking readers, so they feel somewhat distant to domestic readers.
Feeling regretful about this, the author carefully selected and introduced words that are widely used by domestic readers and are likely to arouse intellectual curiosity, such as symposium, tattoo, data, brand, issue, boycott, lesbian, metaverse, diet, panic, agenda, scandal, and cyber.
It also introduces unfamiliar but useful idiomatic expressions such as 'green-eyed', 'win brownie points', 'bow hot and cld', and 'turn a blind eye'.
It unfolds the fascinating story of how these words came to have specific meanings through storytelling.
Additionally, each page is enriched with 365 full-color images related to the story, helping readers understand the content and adding visual enjoyment.


"1 Page a Day, 365 English Etymology," the first etymology textbook tailored to Koreans, was recognized for its innovative concept and was selected as a book in the humanities category in the "2023 Excellent Publishing Content Production Support Project" conducted by the Korea Creative Content Agency.

And improve your English skills
Build up your general knowledge

As the title suggests, this book contains the etymology of English words and the history, literature, mythology, economics, science, religion, art, food, sports, and other various histories related to them, one word per page per day for 365 days.
Each of the 365 words introduced in this book has its own unique story.
After reading this interesting story, you will never forget the English words.
In this way, our English skills and general knowledge are naturally built up in our heads.
It will be a useful help not only for middle and high school students preparing for English exams, but also for anyone of any age or gender who is learning English on their own to study English in a unique and fun way.

As the author says, after a long journey, discovering the roots of a language and understanding how it has evolved brings the thrill and joy of discovering a hidden treasure.
The joy of discovering the secret of etymology at this time is comparable to Archimedes' “Eureka!”
Readers, let us embark on a delightful journey of knowledge through this book into the fascinating and exciting world created by mankind.
