etymonline

46,000 English word etymologies, dutifully collected from etymonline.com.

Etymonline is a collection of historical data about the English language. It was compiled by Douglas Harper and draws from over 80 sources.

This npm package was created to safeguard this treasure of linguistic data, in case the etymonline website should disappear one day. 🙈

Installation

npm install etymonline --save

Usage

const etymologies = require('etymonline')

etymologies.length
// 46840

etymologies.find(e => e.word === 'dandelion')
// {
//   word: 'dandelion',
//   pos: 'n',
//   etymology: 'early 15c., earlier dent-de-lioun (late 14c.), from Middle French...'
// }

etymologies.filter(e => e.word.match('money')).map(e => e.word)
// [ 'money',
//   'money-bag',
//   'money-maker',
//   'money-pit',
//   'moneyed',
//   'moneyless',
//   'moneyocracy',
//   'smart money' ]
