The Gutenberg Webster's Unabridged Dictionary: Section X, Y, and Z
Section X, Y, and Z
"The Gutenberg Webster's Unabridged Dictionary: Section X, Y, and Z" is a reference work likely produced in the late 19th century. This comprehensive dictionary provides detailed entries for words beginning with the letters X, Y, and Z, including their definitions, pronunciations, anthropological references, and etymologies. The specific opening sections focus on the letters X and Y, detailing various scientific terms related to chemistry, botany, and medicine, as well as and some historical and linguistic introductions. The opening of this dictionary begins with the letter "X," discussing its sounds and evolution from Latin and Greek to English. It includes entries for chemical compounds and terms like "xanthic" and "xenogenesis," referencing their properties and applications. Following this, the letter "Y" elaborates on its pronunciation and various meanings, featuring terms like "yaw," "yacht," and "yellow," along with descriptions and usages in both contemporary and historical contexts. Overall, this opening portion emphasizes the dictionary's intent as a thorough compilation of terminologies across various fields, aimed at scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in the richness of the English language.
