There are an estimated 750,000 words in the English language.
Nearly half of these are of Germanic (or Teutonic) origin, and nearly half from the
Romance languages (languages of Latin origin--such as French, Spanish, and
Italian--or Latin itself). There also have been generous borrowings from other languages,
including Greek, Dutch, Modern German, and Arabic.
A good etymological dictionary serves as a guide to the origins of English words
