The app is now called Eponym everywhere, including its App Store name.

Wordroot 2.0 shows where every word comes from as a tree. Start at today's word and follow it back through Latin and Greek to Proto-Indo-European. Tap any ancestor to open it. Under the tree you get words that share the same root. Heart brings courage, credit and cardiology. Hear each word and see how it is said. Save words, find the ones you looked up, or roll a random one. Suggestions show up while you type, and a prefix and suffix index sits at the bottom of the home screen. Put the word of the day on your Home Screen. Look up any word from Shortcuts, Siri or Spotlight, and on the Mac from the Services menu. Words you looked up open without a connection. A new typeface, a bolder icon, and every control now sits at the bottom, where your thumb is.

A new icon and a cleaner look. Wordroot now runs on iOS 17 and later.

Cleaner look. The soft color wash behind each word is now a single flat tint, and the section labels read clearly over the word's photo.

The background now colors and drifts to match whatever word you're looking up.

Word lookups now credit Wiktionary properly, network problems report themselves instead of looking like an empty result, and definitions are handled more safely. A small reliability pass all round.
