OP I am having a time finding wonderful word-origin books,
complete with source language and original meaning. Any on or off-line recommendations please? Grace
Sure, but first: were the responses in your 'Six Languages' query helpful?
Here's a url for books for sale that deal with word origins:

Another good etymology site:http://www.geocities.com/etymonline/h4etym.htm
