In a Word: Bad Etymology | The Saturday Evening Post (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The best of The Saturday Evening Post in your inbox! Senior managing editor and logophile Andy Hollandbeck reveals the sometimes surprising roots of common English words and phrases. Remember: Etymology tells us where a word comes from, but not what it means today. Just like any other science or academic discipline, etymology has its share of disproven theories, popular misconceptions, and false narratives.

Contrariwise: To Err Is Human | The Saturday Evening Post (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The best of The Saturday Evening Post in your inbox! None of the articles, essays, or stories in this magazine were created by generative A.I., like ChatGPT or Claude.

In a Word: Getting Nowhere with Utopia | The Saturday Evening Post (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The best of The Saturday Evening Post in your inbox! Senior managing editor and logophile Andy Hollandbeck reveals the sometimes surprising roots of common English words and phrases. Remember: Etymology tells us where a word comes from, but not what it means today. In 1516, Sir Thomas More published (in Latin) a satirical story that takes place on a fictional New World island, which he called Utopia, a name he coined. The word utopia is nothing new to you, of course, because More’s work was and
