About ETYMOLEON

Leon AKA Etymoleon, has long held a fascination with the origins of words, an interest which led to the creation of a weekly fifteen-minute etymology podcast. Each episode traces the etymology of words and names, alongside related stories and events from history. Leon later developed Derivety, a daily word game in which players test their knowledge of etymology by identifying a hidden word, guided by its origin and a carefully crafted clue, all under the pressure of a ticking clock. The name Etymoleon is a fusion of "etymology" and Leon’s own name.
