Verbum Daily Etymology

The Story Behind Every Word

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Just launched. The etymology app that makes you stop and say - wait, what? Every word has a story. Language is a living record of every culture that shaped it. Greek philosophers, Roman lawyers, Viking raiders, French nobles, Saxon farmers- they all left fingerprints on the words you use every day. Verbum presents those fingerprints in a beautiful, interactive app. Each day, one word. Its definition, origin, and amazing history of how it traveled through time to reach you, from Proto-Indo-European roots spoken five thousand years ago to modern English. Flip the card to go deeper: a timeline tracing every language the word passed through, the remarkable facts most etymologies skip, and the family of English words that grew from the same ancient root. You'll never look at language the same way again. Features: - Beautiful daily word card with full etymology - Timeline tracing every language and culture the word passed through - Discover the family of words sharing the same root - Star your favorites and return to them anytime - Go through words by date or shuffle though them to keep learning - Small, medium, and lock screen widgets - Daily notifications, set to your preferred time - Streak counter to track your daily habit - Share words that stop you in your tracks
