Online Etymological reference

Does anyone know of a good etymological reference online?

I've been wondering the same thing myself. com is the place to go. It's not great for etymology, but it's a useful place nonetheless.

Though if you want just plain dictionaries, onelook.com is the place to go. It's not great for etymology, but it's a useful place nonetheless.

confuse me? I found it extraordinary. How can a site about Etymological reference have in "the headlines" something like "give your boyfriend ****". lol. By the way what do you call "the headlines on a webpage"?. I´ll definitely save this page as it migh be worth looking at.

LOL I haven't noticed that when I found the page... Emotion: smile
I also don't pay much attention to banners like that - only advertisements

I found it funny, too - now that you've told me about it ***
I am not shy, am I? Maybe a bit though... ok, you're right: I am shy

I guess a headline on a webpage is still a headline.
A banner is one of those horizontal ads (with bewildering messages).
