The content of the book was derived from the author's blog, The Inky Fool.[4] The book was chosen and adapted in December 2011 by BBC Radio 4 for its Book of the Week series.[5] After being featured on the radio, the book became the 2011 Christmas best-seller in the UK.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite news|last=Duerden|first=Nick|title=The Etymologicon: The little wonder that left its author lost for words|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/the-etymologicon-the-little-wonder-that-left-its-author-lost-for-words-6293561.html|accessdate=28 July 2013|newspaper=The Independent|date=24 January 2012}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Etymologicon}}{{lang-book-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|last=Parris|first=Matthew|title=In a nutshell, it's a miracle wrapped in an enigma|newspaper=The Times|date=13 October 2011}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Copping|first=Jasper|title=Guide to idioms lets the cat out of the bag|newspaper=The Sunday Telegraph|date=23 October 2011}} 4. ^{{cite web|last=Forsyth|first=Mark|title=The Inky Fool|url=http://blog.inkyfool.com/|accessdate=28 July 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Book of the Week: The Etymologicon (20 December 2011)|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b018b63t|publisher=BBC Radio 4|accessdate=28 July 2013}} 3 : 2011 non-fiction books|Etymology|British non-fiction books |
