Word History: From an etymological perspective, book and beech are branches of the same tree. The Germanic root of both words is *bōk-, ultimately from an Indo-European root meaning «beech tree.» The Old English form of book is bōc, from Germanic *bōk-ō, «written document, book.» The Old English form of beech is bēce, from Germanic *bōk-jōn, «beech tree,» because the early Germanic peoples used strips of beech wood to write on. A similar semantic development occurred in Latin. The Latin word for book is liber, whence library. Liber, however, originally meant «bark»—that is, the smooth inner bark of a tree, which the early Romans likewise used to write on.
