Thanks xyclonei & DNSB.

I'll try the Wikititionary.

To be clear...prior to my screwup and "upgrade" to the 2019 dictionary, my normal "English" dictionary had the etymology descriptions. I did not have a "Custom" dictionary.

Now, after my factory reset, the "English" dictionary says 2024 at the bottom, and the "English (Custom) dictionary -- from the first page of this post -- does not have a date and neither one has the etymology.

I guess my point is that the 2019 version does NOT have the etymology sections as someone had stated above. At least, not what can be downloaded from this post.

I was hoping that someone who has a..normal?...English dictionary that HAS the etymology could share the link where they got it.

Sadly, I don't have backups.

EDIT: Wow. I like the Wikititionary version. I replaced the "English" dictionary instead of using it as the "Custom" and it's working almost as well as what I used yesterday.

It's odd to see the etymology on top rather than the end, but I'm ok with that.

Thank you xyclonei, I can now proceed to drink my Champagne and toast all the people in my past.
