CONTRARIAN TRUTH CLAIMS
RANKED REVEALS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
Even the source-form can wear an asterisk.
French lexicography defines an étymon as attested or reconstructed/hypothetical. The unit used to explain a word’s history is not automatically a surviving word.
*set-u- → *setu-mo- → ἔτυμος → ἔτυμον → etymon → étymon
Definition: forme attestée ou hypothétiqueIndependently states the same methodological distinction.
SCHOLARLY DISAGREEMENT
DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
Did French borrow étymon through Latin or directly from Greek?
CNRTL names Latin etymon as the immediate donor; the Académie calls the French word a learned borrowing from Greek. The graph preserves the Latin route as probable, not certain.
Étymologie: emprunté du grec etumonNames Greek directly and thereby exposes the donor-label disagreement.
Must a French étymon be directly attested?
No. Both CNRTL and the Académie explicitly define the explanatory form as attested or reconstructed/hypothetical.
Definition: forme attestée ou hypothétiqueIndependently allows an attested or hypothetical etymon.
