Probably not as exotic as the A-Z of unusual words but at least as beautiful and enlightening - Illustrated Etymology is a collection of visual correlatives to English word history.
Pictured: porcelain - from Middle French porcelaine and directly from Italian porcellana “porcelain” (13c.), literally “cowrie shell,” the chinaware so called from resemblance of its lustrous transparency to the shiny surface of the shells. The shell’s name in Italian is from porcella “young sow,” fem. of Latin porcellus “young pig,” diminutive of porculus “piglet,” diminutive of porcus “pig.”
