内容简介

"The Gutenberg Webster's Unabridged Dictionary: Section R" by Project Gutenberg et al. is a comprehensive reference work likely first assembled in the early 20th century. This installment of the dictionary focuses on the letter "R," providing definitions, origins, and usage notes for numerous entries that include words starting with this letter. The opening of this dictionary entry features a range of definitions and etymologies, beginning with the letter "R" itself and moving through various terms from "Rabbi" to "Rake." Each term is defined clearly and often provides an insight into historical or literary contexts, such as the classic definition of "Rabbi" as a title of respect within Judaism and the playful etymology regarding "R" as “the dog's letter." This opening section serves as a practical guide for readers seeking to understand the nuances of language, the evolution of vocabulary, and the roots of English words.
