What reading level is The Romance of Words book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
morus, mulberry tree, has given Fr. mure. The r of berry has brought about dissimilation in Eng.
mulberry and Ger. Maulbeere. Colonel has the spelling of Fr. colonel, but its pronunciation points rather to the dissimilated Spanish form coronel which is common in Elizabethan English. Cotgrave has colonel, "a colonell, or coronell; the commander of a regiment." Sometimes dissimilation leads to the disappearance of a consonant, e.g., Eng. feeble, Fr. faible, represents Lat flebilis, lamentable, fr...om flere, to weep. Fugleman was once fluglelman, from Ger. Flugelmann, wing man, i.e., a tall soldier on the right wing who exaggerated the various movements of -musketry drill for the guidance of the rest. The female name Annabel 'is a dissimilation of Amabel, whence Mabel. By an irregular change, of which, however, we have other examples, Annabel has become Arabel or Arabella. Our level is Old Fr. livel, Vulgar Lat. *libellum, for libella, a plummet, diminutive of libra, scales. Old Fr. livel became by dissimilation nivel, now niveau.
