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: mot attesté ou reconstituéStates the attested-or-reconstructed 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: emprunt du latin etymonNames Latin as the immediate donor.
Must a French étymon be directly attested?
No. Both CNRTL and the Académie explicitly define the explanatory form as attested or reconstructed/hypothetical.
Definition: mot attesté ou reconstituéExplicitly allows an attested or reconstructed etymon.
