Each of those words has an exciting story to tell us about where, when, how, and why they came about. ""Once Upon a Word"" is packed with easy-to-understand definitions and awesome word-origin stories. Here, you can understand the history and meaning of English words, improve your vocabulary and spelling, and learn to play with language. Explore how weird words like gnome, fun words like zombie, and common words like caterpillar came to exist.
