The American Heritage Dictionary of Indo‐European Roots should be considered a companion volume to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: there are numerous English words indicated in the entries of The American Heritage Dictionary of Indo‐European Roots for which the etymologies are provided in The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, and they are not repeated in this volume
New findings were incorporated in the second edition (2000), while additional, more recent ones have been included in the present edition, as well as some innovative features, such as a new diagram of the Indo‐European family of languages, indicating both the general geographic distribution and the relative chronology within each branch, and more than fifty notes on language and culture interspersed among the entries of Indo‐European roots
