openproposedposition text
Are Germanic hate words unquestionably cognate with κῆδος?
No. The formal comparison is prominent enough to traverse, but the sources explicitly qualify the semantic path and do not recover one shared original sense.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Did nice originally mean pleasant?
No. Merriam-Webster reports early foolish, wanton, silly, and simple senses; pleasant or agreeable becomes prominent much later.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Did trust begin as a legal property arrangement?
No. The historical noun centers on confidence and reliance; legal trust is one later semantic institution within the word’s wider range.

Kind is not kin with a d—and kindness did not begin as niceness.
Kind and kin descend through separate Germanic formations and meet only at the deeper birth root. The adjective first carries natural, native, fitting, and proper senses; benevolence becomes prominent through later semantic development.
