1/28 On 28 April 1789, the mutineers of HMS Bounty put their captain into a 23 ft launch with 18 loyal men and barely a hand's breadth of freeboard. Forty-seven days later, he stepped ashore on Timor. This is Bligh after the Bounty. #maritimehistory

The more than 550 infographics I've made have always been a hobby for me as a linguist and writer. However, since 2023, people have been able to support my work by giving me the equivalent of a coffee or a sandwich per month. I'd be thrilled if you became my patron too! patreon.com/yvanspijk

Since I started on Twitter in 2021, I’ve created two etymological infographics a week – more than 550 in total. Each one takes me between three and six hours.

I base them on scientifically reliable etymological dictionaries on my pc, the internet and my bookshelves, along with other linguistic literature. The only tool I use – and need – is PowerPoint. No form of AI is ever involved.

The infographics have always been a hobby for me as a professional linguist and writer. However, in 2023 I started a Patreon account because people were telling me they wanted to support my work.

On patreon.com/yvanspijk, you can become a member at two levels. The other image tells you all about the
perks you get by becoming my patron.

Tier 1 · $ 2.50 / € 2 a month
75 articles (and counting) that delve into fascinating aspects of the infographics they go with; 300 to 1300 words each, 600 on average.
Tier 2 · $ 6.50 / € 5 a month
The tier 1 bonus
An audio file containing the reconstructed pronunciation of all historical words featured in the infographic, such as Latin and Old English, and the Proto-Germanic reconstructions, included with every infographic since March 2024; 193 files (and counting).

When I posted my graphic about ‘to wait’ and ‘wachten’, many people asked if German ‘warten’ – with the same meaning – is related too. Nope! ‘Warten’ has its own huge family: ‘aware’, ‘wary’, ‘beware’, ‘to warn’, ‘ward’, ‘warden’, ‘guardian’, ‘lord’ – and that’s only English! Zoom in for more:

The verb ‘to wait’ comes from Old French, but French in turn borrowed it from the ancestor of Dutch ‘wachten’. Their word family include ‘wake’, ‘woke’, ‘watch’, and, via Latin, ‘vigilant’, ‘vigour’, ‘vegetation’, and ‘vegetable’. Click my new graphic to learn all about it:

Ent Tree, Brocton, Staffordshire. This is a real tree with ‘legs’. It is thought that this ancient tree - an oak planted during the reign of Henry Vlll - inspired the legendary character Treebeard in Lord Of The Rings. Tolkien lived nearby at the time & would walk these woods. via Mother Earth

Why does ‘Dutch’ refer to the Low Countries, but ‘Deutsch’ to Germany? It’s because their ancestor denoted any vernacular continental West Germanic language. Only later did their meanings specify. Zoom in to read more – and to learn how ‘Teuton’, ‘Theodoric’, and ‘Derek’ are related as well:

If it hadn’t been for French, the word for “debt” would’ve been *shild, from Old English ‘sċyld’. It’s related to ‘shall’, whose original meaning was “to owe”. Similarly, ‘debt’ is related to French ‘devoir’ (“to owe”). My two new graphics tell you all about these words and their relationships:
