Brief annotation

The book by Vitaly Babenko - writer, head of the journalism department of the Institute of Journalism and Literary Creativity, but also a teacher of etymology - tells about the most ordinary words. Using them, we do not think that the history of each word is full of paradoxes. It is such stories and made a book - not a dictionary, not a scientific study, and a collection of unheard stories about the words heard. The author, as a detective, goes from a clue to a clue. Well, what would seem surprising in the words "bus," "time," "sky," "career" and others, which is told in the book? And they, as it turns out, have a very intricate origin. In many cases, the way words are formed, changes in the original meaning, the strange connection of the constituent parts, the amazing connection with other words can bring a smile. Just for this: to the delight of the reader from meeting with "unfamiliar acquaintances" - everyday words - and the author counts.
