CONTRARIAN TRUTH CLAIMS
RANKED REVEALS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
RANK 80GRADE Asupports
“True” is not yet “etymology.”
Greek ἔτυμος meant true, real, or actual. A neuter technical noun and then the compound ἐτυμολογία had to turn truth into an inquiry about words.
*set-u-
*set-u- → *setu-mo- → ἔτυμος
Adjective sense and substantive sense IISeparates the ordinary true-word from the later technical noun.

The etymon is not always the root of the root.
In technical use an etymon may be an earlier form, a foreign loan source, or a derivational word or morpheme—not necessarily the deepest reachable ancestor.
*set-u-
*set-u- → *setu-mo- → ἔτυμος → ἔτυμον → etymon → etymon
Substantive ἔτυμον, sense IIShows the Greek historical source of the technical noun.

SCHOLARLY DISAGREEMENT
DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
resolvedcontextestablished
Is ἐτήτυμος a deeper ancestor of ἔτυμος?
No. LSJ classifies it as a poetic reduplicated form for ἔτυμος, not an older proto-form from which ἔτυμος descends.
Headword ἔτυμοςDocuments the shorter attested base.
resolvedsupportsestablished
Did ἔτυμος itself mean the modern discipline etymology?
No. It meant true, real, or actual; only its substantivized neuter developed a technical true-sense meaning, and ἐτυμολογία is a later compound.
Adjective sense; substantive sense IISeparates true/real from the later technical noun.
