C. Begninner's Textbook:
1. "The Origins of English Words", a discursive dictionary of Indo-European Roots, by Joseph T. Shipley, 1984.
ISBN: 0-8018-3004-4, personal obsersations: Mr. Shipley does NOT understand Classic Greek at all, nor does he care to look them up in ANY authoratative bilingual Greek dictionary, period. As a result, many glaring/flagrant errors about Classic Greek permeated throughout his most celebrated works. Nevertheless, Mr. Shipley showed his diligence in using and familarity with OED (1st ed.)--he probably had spent over 10,000 working hours pouring over OED1 in more than 2 decades.

中小型词典:
中型词典:
Webster's New World Dictionary, 1st Ed. 1953, 2nd Ed. 1970, 3rd ed. 1988, 4th ed. 2000 在词源方面颇多可取.
Random House系列则优点不突出.
小型词典: Macmillan Dictionary for Students 虽然只提供了大约18,000词的词源, 但是写得深入浅出, addle ("风蛋" 如何变成了"臭蛋") 等词源介绍显得丝毫不比大中型语文词典逊色. Scott, Foresman Advanced Dictionary 风格接近, 可以视为World Book Dictionary简写本.
B. Etymological dictionaries:
由于疏忽, Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology (简称DEE)被遗漏, 收录24,000 entries
Skeat: An Etymological dictionary of the English Language, 1910 (somewhat dated)
Weekley: Etymological dictionary of Modern English--just another name, 不如 Patridge's "Origin" user-friendly.
1. Chamber's Dictionary of Etymology, 1988 VERY EXCELLENT (如果你是语言专家的专家, 你可能认为该书有点浅)
2. Cassell Dictionary of Word History 1999, 简明实用, 但不搞旁征博引.
3. Origins, A short etymological dictionary of modern English. One of my personal favorites.
4. A Comprehensive Dictionary of The English Language (1966, 2 vol. set) 作者有以色列/捷克血统, 少年时代移民加拿大, 对英语词源尤其感兴趣, 花数十年时间编成此书, 在多伦多出版, 为加拿大自己出版的英语词源辞书中最大规模, 但是此书并不是特别为专门学习词源的学生考虑的, 仅为一般翻检适用. 作者Ernest Klein对英语词源钻研至深, 可视为"日耳曼"人以外屈指可数的少数人之一.
