The "Diccionario General Etimológico de la Lengua Española" is a monumental work—frequently published in five volumes—begun by Roque Barcia and continued by Eduardo de Echegaray in the late 19th century. It is a classic resource that details the origins, roots, and evolution of Spanish words, and is often found in modern reprint editions.
