Where this word comes from
Calque of German Wörterbuch (“dictionary”), equivalent to ord (“word”) + bok (“book”), literally “word-book”. The first element is from Old Norse orð (“word”), from Proto-Germanic *wurdą (“word”), from Proto-Indo-European *werdʰom (“word”), from *werh₁- (“to speak, say”). The second element is from Old Norse bók (“book”), from Proto-Germanic *bōks (“letter, written message, book”); its further origin is uncertain. Compare the parallel formations Norwegian Nynorsk ordbok, Danish ordbog, Swedish ordbok, Icelandic orðabók, Faroese orðabók, German Wörterbuch and Dutch woordenboek (“dictionary”).
