I love this app. It makes my inner logophile happy. I particularly like that it doesn't just say "from old french" like many other etymology sites. The etymology will be taken back as far as possible (often to proto-indo-european for most English words). The app is functional, the ads are relatively unobtrusive (for a free app), and I have not yet found the limits of its database. If I had one wish it would be to be able to click on root words to get audio pronunciations.

Excellent! would prefer options to remove ads which doesn't require tracking or installing other apps etc... Would like to see full integration into linux systems from creation of console application with both cli and gui interface. would be nice to have easy access from my linux writing tools. So a Linux office style suite plugin integration would be nice. I think etymology needs to be the most popular topic for our species right now.

While the dictionary once served a purpose in my life, I find that exploring the origin of a word or phrase adds depth and dimension to it's definition. Much like the contrast between reading about the Grand Canyon, in contrast to standing it's edges in person with full, panaramic vision. Etymonline App is the best I've found and has replaced the dictionary for my understand of everything. Well done.
