Caroline Taggart explores the often-surprising origin and use of individual words, such as ‘love’ to mean ‘no score’ in tennis, as well as many of the short phrases that add richness to our language. From terms whose roots lie in ancient civilizations to those taken from Biblical, military or domestic settings, she explains why we might be galvanized into action, curry favour or seek the limelight.
