Apr 12, 2020 at 15:32 | comment | added | Jonah | "But the thing is, we want to avoid re-inventing the wheel." I understand and respect that. I still think accuracy of the linked duplicate is important for searchability and the experience of future users. It's somewhat of a nitpick in this specific case since the correct answer is already here and the correct duplicate is in the comments. | |
Apr 12, 2020 at 15:15 | comment | added | Jonah | @EdwinAshworth: That does appear to be a duplicate. However, the alleged duplicate used to close my question is not a duplicate. It concerns a word to describe mistaken usage of a word in daily life. My question specifically requests a word to describe a type of etymology. | |
