The History of a Word.

{By "The Bookworm.")

Philology is an enticing study. Ona branch of it deals with the development of words, and as the lepidopterist chases a rare butterfly and traces its genus and com pares it with allied species, so the philologist will take a word, ana turning to his beloved reference books he will trace the changes of spelling, the growth of meaning, the com parison between the same word m different languages, m many instances going as far bick as the early Sanskrit. There is hardly any exercise of a more healthy mental nature than this. It widens the scholar's thought, makes him more care ful m his choice of words, and so influences his speech and writing that even m casual matters there is no appearance of the slip shod carelessness that unfortunately creeps into the utterances of many men and women who should know better. " Ouida," with all her faults of sensational ism, is a most polished writer and phraseolo gist.- Ruskin may be quoted as a master of pure English, Andrew Lang has often been referred to as a writer who understands the value of every word he uses, and Robert Louis Stevenson took a chief pleasure m 1 thf sMi^v of a lonely word." " Weigh'st thy words before thou givest them breath?" says Shakespeare m " Othello," and the question should be ever present m the minds of all who write or speak publicly. " Slipshod phrases " are frequently used by clever writers. One of them speaks of "finding a remedy for a problem." Thousands of readers %vould pass this slip without noticing it and yet it is only one example of many others like it. How words become contorted and diverted from their original meaning is as interesting a question to the philologist as the solution of a problem m chess to the chess player. The research involved m the comparing of I authorities, and m tracing the gradual slipping away of a word from its original mean ing, often by its use m a symbolical sense, gives delight to the student of philology ; and when the world is quiet and thought can be concentrated, much of the midnight oil is spent m digging into the stores of knowledge accumulated by scholars of the past, for the purpose of tracing the various changes or shades of meaning through which any given word has passed. It is here that a thoroughly good diction ary is of such inestimable value. Sucli a dictionary, for instance, as "Webster's In ternational." The contents of this book remind an Australian of the gold which re mains m a digger's dish after he has care fully washed all extraneous matter from it. In "Webster's International you will find the "gold " alone—words and their history are clearly traced, and exhibited m such a complete chain that the reader can see every link at a glance, and can easily perceive and examine for himself the value and strength of them all. In connection 1 with this "International Dictionary " it must be remembered that the facts as stated therein are the results of re vision and research extending over a century, by many hundred leading 'Scholars and specialists m every branch of kndwledge and learning. It is this which makes the book so extremely valuable for purposes of reference. To show what is thought of it m England, so high an authority as the Lord Chief Justice of England, m giving his decision m the famous "Alexandra" case, said " I have looked, so that I might not go wrong, at Webster's Dictionary, a work of the greatest learning, research, and ability." With a judicial opinion of this high value to fill back upon, it is evident that the state ments m such a book can be thoroughly relied upon. Take for instance such a common word as "horse." Many people will unthinkingly say " Oh, we know what that is," but it is certain that on referring to "Webster's International Dictionary," a great deal more than the mere superficial knowledge of the majority would be imparted. The Dictionary states that "horse" is a. noun, and it gives the modern pronunciation phonetically, viz.:—"hors." The etymology, j or derivation, of the word is then given, and, it is seen that the modern word " horse " is the same as the Anglo-Saxon " hors " that it is akin to the Old Saxon "hros," to the Dutch and Old High German " ros" to the German "ross " and the Icelandic "hross," and perhaps also to the Latin "currere" to run, from which we get the English "course," "current." In connection with the derivation a comparison is made with the word " walrus" which is found to be a compound of " whale horse," a curious leaning and origin which few people would suspect, but which is proved beyond doubt by comparison of the word m all the Scandin vian languages, among the old sea-kings, the "hardy Norsemen," who coined it. Then follows the exact zoological definition of the horse as " a hoofed quadruped of the genus equus ;.">.(a short note under that word being given m its proper place) and' a brief summary of the history of the horse is added. And here the Dictionary displays one of its j most useful and especially valuable features. An accurate diagram of the animal is shown m an illustration, with every one of its forty-five parts numbered and outlined like a map and their special names printed m the margin. Each of these names, such as "forelock," "haunch," "stifle," is defined m its respective #lace m tfie Dictionary, and m this way the word " horse "is treated with full and complete scientific accuracy. One is reminded of the famous story of Dr. Johnson, the prince and king of all dictionary-makers of the old school. In his wonderful book he had defined " pastern " as "the knee of a horse." "How could you possibly come to make such a mistake, Doctor?" a lady asked him. His reply was laconic, "Ignorance, Madam, pure ignor ance." The old doctor's reply was no doubt quite true; but the times are altered and the way of making a modern dictionary is changed. It is no longer the unaided work of one laborious scholar for twenty years, but the unremitting care of more than a hundred specialists for ten years, and m such a book as Webster's International Dictionary "ignor ance, pure ignorance," can have no possible place. Having thus disposed of the word " horse " m its primary scientific sense, the dictionary

proceeds to define the eight or nine special and applied meanings that the word has acquired. -• The first distinction occurs m the second definition where it is found that a restriction creeps m, for this definition runs " the male of the genus horse, m distinction from the female or mare." Then m the evolution of the word it is shown that a third meaning is attached to it, and it is used to designate "mounted soldiery; cavalry ; —used without the plural termination; as a regiment of horse;—dis tinguished from foot." An example is given from Bacon who wrote," The armies were appointed, consisting of twenty-five thousand horse and/hot." A fourth use for the same word is "A frame with legs used to support something, as a clotfusAorst, a sawhorst," etc. A fifth use came m for it, and the name " horse " was applied to " a frame of timber, shaped like a horse on which soldiers were made to ride for punishment." A sixth definition of it occurred when It became •' applied to anything actual or figurative on which one rides, as on a horse; a hobby." In mining parlance, a seventh use for it is found m the name given to "a mass of earthy matter, or rock of the same character as the wall rock, occurring m the course of a vein, as of coal or ore; hence to takt horse —said of a vein—is to divide into branches for a distance." In nautical terms it is again introduced, and m the eighth definition it is stated that it was used formerly for " foot-rope," that it is still used for " a breastband for a leads man," "an iron bar for a sheet traveler to slide upon," also " a jack-stay." Reference is made to-William Clarke Russell. U>e well-known novelist, and to Benjamin T. Totten, an American naval officer, who pub lished a naval dictionary m 1841, both of whom use the word "horse" m a nautical sense. Following these eight definitions which show the student how even so simple a word as "horse" gradually acquires an extended use, far from its original meaning, a note is appended showing the use of the word as an adjective m composition, to signify of, or hnv itig to do ivtth, a horse or horses, like a horse, etc.; as m the compound words, horse collar, horse dealer, horseplay, etc. Tlie information on the development of this word does not stop here. A very extensive series of examples follows of compound words and phrases m which " horse " is used. The series is too numerous to quote here m full, bat any student possessing a " Web ster's International Dictionary" can turn the word up for himself on page 707 and examine the combinations which occupy nearly one hundred lines of print, and embrace every conceivable phrase into which the word " horse," with a special meaning has bften introduced. Any manner m fact m which the word "horse" has been combined or used with authority will be found m this dictionary. Zoological terms such as "horse crab," "horse finch," or "horse mackerel," etc., are given with the accepted scientific name of each. Botanical terms such as " horse gentian," " horse parsley," etc., are quoted with their botanic names. Colloquial compounds, such as "iron horse, 1'  meaning a locomotive, and "horse sense," (a colloquialism gh'en to the language by the United States) meaning strong common sense, are explained. Even slang terms are not excepted, and the word " horse marine " is defined as a slang nautical term applied to an " awkward, lubberly person, or to one of a mythical body of marine cavalry," and " salt horse," as the name applied by sailors to salt beef. Examples are given of common phrases such as " To look a gift horse m the mouth," which is quoted with Lowell's definition " to examine the mouth of a horse which has been received as a gift m order to ascertain his age; hence, to accept favors m a critical and thankless spirit." Further forms of the word are given m its use as a verb, with illustrative quotations from such standard authors as Shakespeare, Butler, and Shelton. But this remarkable Dictionary, which is a complete Encyclopedia of all useful know ledge as well as a full vocabulary of mere words, does not rest content with even such an elaborate history and explanation as that which has just been described*; it proceeds further to fill out a page with a clear defini tion of forty or fifty compound words, all of which have assimilated this old Anglo-Saxon word "horse" as an essential part of their constitution and significance. To give only a few samples, these words ranjje over such a curiously varied extent as "horse-radish," "horse-chestnut," "horsefly," "horse laugh," "horsetail," "horse power," "Horse Guard," etc., etc., and they run into all departments of knowledge, into botany, machinery, fisheries, art, science, the army and the navy, and even the more select of the regions of colloquialism and slang. The English language is a particularly rich one. Taking as its basis the Saxon tongue, it has annexed and converted to its use expressive words from almost every other language. As a rule the old Saxon words are extremely euphonious, expressive, and complete; but the subtle manner m which a foreign word will be introduced by some authority and will be quoted until the "graft " has become part of the " tree" is known only to philologists. The study of words enriches tile student's power of language. No man living knows or uses during his lifetime a tithe of the words m the English language, and every good expressive word acquired by the indi vidual not only improves his lingual ability, but has a beneficial effect on those he comes m contact with, whether m his private capacity or as a public writer or speaker. And to follow out the history or develop ment of any significant word m the manner sketched m this little essay by the help of such an exhaustive book of reference as Webster's International Dictionary, will be found a wide addition to the knowledge of even the most highly educated scholar; while even to the ordinary reader, or amid the every-day occupation of the busiest man or woman, it will prove an intelligent recreation of instruction and delight.
