Daniel Balmaceda ha unido en este libro sus dos pasiones: la historia y la palabra. ¿De dónde surgieron términos como "abatatarse" o "boicotear"? ¿Por qué le decimos cubiertos a los utensilios que usamos para comer? ¿Por qué conocemos como jacuzzis a las bañeras con hidromasaje? La historia de las palabras es la historia de nuestra propia vida. Por eso, las palabras son muy valiosas. Si queremos sacar provecho de ellas, debemos conocerlas mejor.
