Do you know the old meaning of "wife" is simply "a woman"?

Organized A-Z, the entries include first known use along with examples that illustrate the many faces of the particular word or phrase, from ‘handsome’ to ‘bachelor’ and ‘cute’ to ‘baby’, from ‘pagan’ to ‘palaver’ and ‘toff’ to ‘torpedo’.

This app is useful for language students and enthusiasts, but also an intriguing read for any person interested in the development of the English language.
