Extension summary

  1. Turn on the extension by clicking the icon in the Chrome toolbar.
  2. Hover!

Hover your mouse over any word to reveal its etymology. The etymology window will remain open as long as your mouse remains over either the word or the window.

Note that once your turn on the extension, it will remain open in that tab, meaning that all other pages loaded in that tab will also be hoverable! Turning off the extension will reload the page.

All thanks and praises go to etymonline.com!
