Very convoluted entries

Most negative reviews found for “Concise Etymological Dictionary of the English Language” by Walter W. Skeat are due to poor copies in circulation. My review is of a professional paperback version.
Still, you will need to take the time to read the second abbreviations before even thinking of using this dictionary. When you start to read the dictionary, you will find that it is all abbreviations. Each entry “usually” has a word or two about the definition, then goes into a series of abbreviations about its origins.
I would not keep this book except that it has a few rare gems not found in other references.
