    Etymology and word roots are crucial for understanding the structure and evolution of the English language, both in spoken and written forms. Semicolon by Cecelia Watso, The Adventure of English by Melvyn Bragg, History in English Words by Owen Barfield, Made in America by Bill Bryson, are some of the best books to study etymology and roots.
