Etym Quest

A channel dedicated to the curious and sometimes twisted origins of our everyday words. Each episode takes on a new theme, exploring the etymology of selected words from the Neolithic Age all the way up to present day. Presented and created by Alex and Georgina (‘G’), the duo behind Alexicon Genealogy. Etymology doesn’t need to be crusty or based off a latin chart scrawled on a blackboard – continue the conversation with us via the links below! We’re novice video editors so we’d be keen to hear your feedback (and fanmail).
