A shelfful of reference books in one volume From the well known (plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose) to the not so familiar (amor de niño, agua en cestillo), The Harper Dictionary of Foreign Terms defines more than 15,000 foreign words and phrases, from more than fifty languages, that have entered into English. Drawing on art, music, literature, cooking, philosophy, diplomacy, fashion, law, and countless other subjects, and on languages from ancient Greek to mode Russian and from Arabic to Zulu, here are phrases and words that have found a place in our own language or visit us from time to time. With its full English index, the dictionary is equally useful for teachers, students, travelers, diplomats, and secretaries. Le mot juste for the right person. Originally compiled by C. O. Sylvester Mawson, a lexicographer and an editor of Roget's Inteational Thesaurus, The Harper Dictionary of Foreign Terms has been updated and expanded by Eugene Ehrlich, chief editor of The Oxford American Dictionary and the author of many books on language, including Amo, Amas, Amat, and More.
