Overview

Whether you're reading, researching, or just curious, Etymologist brings you clarity. without opening a new tab, all in a beautifully simple popup.

It intuitively handles any language, from textbook Spanish to internet slang (think “skibidi” or “rizz”). You can even look up proper nouns and modern terms like “Karen” or “Wikipedia”, taking you far beyond traditional dictionaries and etymology tools.

Features:
🔍 Double-click any word to see meaning, origin, and synonyms
🌐 Works across languages - including slang and informal terms
📌 Understands brand names, modern references, and other “non-dictionary” words
📋 One-click copy and share
⚡ Lightweight, privacy-friendly, and always in context

Please note:
• Refresh your open tabs after installing, it’s shy at first
• Doesn’t work on PDFs (yet)
• Doesn’t work on Chrome Web Store, extensions page, or other chrome:// pages (Chrome doesn’t allow it)
• Chrome will show a warning about "reading and changing data on all websites". This is just so the extension can detect double-clicks and show the popup. It doesn’t collect or store anything
