Etymological dictionaries

[anglychanin.livejournal.com]

It is common in English dictionaries to have the historical origins of a word briefly indicated. For example in my Chambers Dictionary the verb "To Scare" is explained and then there is a little bit at the end of the entry saying that the word originated in Middle English and Old Norse.

I tried to find a Russian Etymological dictionary the last time I was in St Petersburg, but I couldn't find one. Also not everyone understood what I was after.

Has anyone got a title that I can chase next time, please ?
