Book X of the Etymologiae, De vocabulis, is a short glossary arranged alphabetically to the first letter, which deals with the origin of certain words, [11] predominantly substantives which describe mankind, and adjectives which describe human qualities (Lindemann 1994: 96).
Isidore was cited in grammars and lexica until the end of the Middle Ages, and the Etymologiae became "the standard book of reference on all matters connected with the arts and sciences" (Laistner 1931: 176).
The compilation which dominated the field of glossography in the early Middle Ages is the Liber glossarum, also known as Glossarium Ansileubi, written in France [12] in the latter part of the eighth century (McGeachy 1938: 309).

He also presided over the Synod of Seville (619), and the Fourth Council of Toledo (633), which required all bishops to establish seminaries, on the pattern of the one at Seville associated with Isidore.
His most important work was his encyclopedia, the Etymologiae.
The work takes its title from just one of its twenty constituent books, a highly fanciful account of the etymologies of words, more revealing as a folk etymology of his age.

In the case of some items, a debt to one or the other of these sources can be definitely established; in other cases, the compiler could have drawn on either source; and in a few cases I have found no source whatsoever.
The interpretamentum is likewise a common glossary word (e.g., Corpus 2, C 920) and also occurs in Etymologiae 19.10.17 where Isidore gives a Greek etymology, "conexiones cannarum, dicti apo tou kratein, id est quod se inuicem teneant" ["structures of canes, named from Greek apo tou kratein--that is, that they hold one another"].
