HOBSON-JOBSON
A Glossary of Colloquial Anglo-Indian Words and Phrases, and of Kindred Terms, Etymological,
Historical, Geographical, and Discursive
It is a historical dictionary of Anglo-Indian words and terms from Indian languages which came into use during the British rule of India.
The dictionary holds over 2,000 entries, generally with citations from literary sources, many of which date to the first European contact with the Indian subcontinent, frequently in other non-English European languages. Most entries also have etymological notes.
It was written by Henry Yule and Arthur C. Burnell and first published in 1886. Burnell had died before the work was finished, and most of it was finished by Yule, who, however, deeply acknowledged Burnell’s contributions. A subsequent edition was edited by William Crooke in 1903, with extra quotations and an Index added.
