Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the articles, layout, design and original graphics on this website are the property of IdiomJar and are protected by copyright. The IdiomJar name and logo are our marks.
Historical quotations, dictionary definitions and material reproduced from other sources remain the property of their respective owners and are quoted with attribution for commentary and scholarship, as described in our Disclaimer.
Quoting us — the short version
You're welcome to quote a paragraph or two of our work in an article, video, newsletter or classroom, provided you credit IdiomJar and link to the original page. What we ask you not to do is reproduce whole articles, or republish our research without attribution. If you'd like to use more than a short quotation, just ask us — we're reasonable people.
Content accuracy
We publish carefully researched material, but the study of word origins involves uncertainty, and evidence changes as archives are digitized. Content is provided "as is" without warranties of accuracy or completeness. Our confidence grading system and its limits are explained in the Disclaimer, which forms part of these terms.
User submissions
If you send us a message, correction or suggestion through the contact form or by email, you grant us permission to use it to improve the site — including quoting a correction in an updated article — unless you tell us otherwise. Please don't send us confidential information. We may decline or ignore submissions at our discretion.

Subscribing to our newsletter is voluntary, and every email includes an unsubscribe link. We may change the newsletter's format or frequency, or discontinue it, at any time. Subscriber data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
Advertising
This website is supported by advertising, which may include ads served by third-party networks such as Google. We are not responsible for the products, services or claims of advertisers, and the appearance of an advertisement is not an endorsement. Advertising does not influence our research or editorial conclusions.
Third-party links
The website links to external sites for reference and verification. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, policies or availability. Visiting a linked site is at your own risk and subject to that site's own terms.
Availability
