Did you know that the word ''prestige'' derives from the Latin word for ''illusion''? Or that ''infantry'' stems from a Latin word meaning one who could not speak?
In this original and highly entertaining book, Peter Jones reveals the roots of Latin words that are now common in the English language and shows how Romans actually used them in the ancient world.
Covering every aspect of Roman life - from politics, philosophy, religion and the arts, to technology, warfare, medicine and botany - Quid Pro Quo highlights the vital role Latin has played in the creation of our vast vocabulary.
