The Gutenberg Webster's Unabridged Dictionary: Section S

"The Gutenberg Webster's Unabridged Dictionary: Section S" by Project Gutenberg et al. is a detailed book assembled from the early 1900s. This segment of the dictionary looks at words that start with the letter "S," examining their meanings, where they come from, and how they're used in English. It gives clues about how language has changed and gives detailed background on words, both well-known and less common. The beginning part of this big dictionary gives a complete explanation of the letter "S," including how it sounds and how it developed over time. The book talks about the different sounds "S" can make, how it's used to make words (like making things plural or changing verbs), and lots of information on words like "sacred," "sack," and "sable," showing what they mean and where they originated from. This opening part highlights the importance of studying language closely, showing how each word matters in the big story of English language history.
