Words Origins. The Secret Histories of English Words from A to Z
by John Ayto
Second Edition
A & C Black, London, 2005
Language: English
"...The aim of this dictionary is to bring out and make explicit these sorts of historical connection between English words.
In all about 8,000 words have their stories told here. They represent the central core of English vocabulary, plus an extensive selection of words included either because their etymology is intrinsically interesting, or because they form part of a wider lexical family."

Example:

absent [14] Absent is based ultimately on the Latin verb ‘to be’, esse. To this was added the prefix ab- ‘away’, giving Latin abesse ‘be away’; and the present participial stem of abesse was absent-. Hence, via Old French, the adjective absent and the noun absence. It has been conjectured, incidentally, that the present stem used for Latin esse was a descendant of Indo-European *sontos ‘truth’, from which English sooth comes.
