Is there a German to English dictionary where word origins of German words are also given? I am looking for a modern etymological dictionary. Thanks
I think you only can have it separately. On one side there are lots of good translation dictionaries for German to English (and also English to German) like
- Pons or
- Langenscheid
and many others, and there are etymological dictionaries like
- Konrad Duden's Herkunftswörterbuch or
- Friedrich Kluge's Etymologisches Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache
on the other side. Both classes of dictionaries are very specialized, and I do not believe that you will find a high-quality combination of both of them.
But there are also lots of online resources for translation dictionaries like
- dict.leo.org and
- dict.cc
and also online resources where you can find etymological facts about lots of German words like
