The Dictionary

I read from elaborate to elastic.

Elaine of Astolat loved Sir Lancelot so much that she died of heartbreak. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaine_of_Astolat

I think it's interesting that "Elamite is generally considered a language isolate unrelated to any other languages."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elam

The word of the episode is "élan vital".

I read from ejecta to elaborate.

Early versions of the ejection seat were invented in the 1910s, presumably after someone was like "I would really like a way out of a crashing airplane, please and thank you."

The word of the episode is "ekphrasis".

I read from eight to eisegesis.

I think the obvious answer as to why the 8 ball is black, and not a different number, is because it's the center number! 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-ball

The Eightfold way in physics "...is an allusion to the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism."

I read from Egyptian to eigenvector.

Egypt

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt

Technically, yes, Mammoths were still around while the pyramids were being built, but it was a small population on an island. 

https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/did-woolly-mammoths-still-roam-parts-of-earth-when-the-great-pyramids-were-built.html

The fantastic podcast "Ologies" by Alie Ward has a great episode about Egyptian bread called "Gastroegyptology"

https://www.alieward.com/ologies/gastroegyptology

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors, oh my!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalues_and_eigenvectors

The word of the episode is "eidetic".

I read from Efik to egg and dart.

There are almost 750,000 Efik people in the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efik_people

Not much is known about where "egad" came from other than "I God" which is a "softened oath". 

https://www.etymonline.com/word/egad#etymonline_v_1031

Now I want to walk around the city and just say "Look at the egg-and-dart!" (AKA: egg-and-tongue, egg-and-anchor, egg-and-star)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg-and-dart

The word of the episode is "egalité".

I read from effluent to effusive.

So if you're putting your forehead forth into all the stuff, then you're shameless, and that's effrontery.

Here, learn about effusion.
