What is etymology?

Hello. I am contacting you because of a discussion about etymology on another website, Final Fantasy Fandom ↗. That wiki gives a definition of etymology, followed by a link to Wikipedia etymology page (their page here ↗), and then features 2700 etymologies (list here ↗), almost all of them being similar to these three:

'''Etymology of absolute zero ↗:''''' Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature. More formally, it is the temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value.''

'''Etymology of fire ↗:''''' Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.''

'''Etymology of Shiva ↗:''''' Shiva (also spelled Śiva) is a Hindu god. The Hindu Shiva once saved the world by consuming poison, giving him blue skin around the area of the neck and throat. [etc. etc.]''

Are these three examples etymologies, or not? Since you are a linguist and an active member of Wikipedia Linguistics Project ↗, your opinion could solve the discussion (if you prefer to avoid any involvement, just write it, I will understand). Thank you in advance for your time and attention. --Abacos (talk) 19:52, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

:Sorry for the delay in response. So those are not proper linguistic etymologies. Etymology ↗ refers to the historical origin of a word. For example, ''wednesday'' is from Old English ''wōdnesdæġ'', meaning `Odin's day' and is calqued from Latin ''diēs Mercuriī'' 'day of Mercury', etc. However, in the context of a fantasy wiki, I think it makes sense to use the term etymology this way, because it's the rewl-world origin of the term as it is used in the games. If you want a replacement, you could just call them ''name origins''. I hope that helps. Biktor627 (talk) 06:40, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Olonkho ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Buryat ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:15, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Ulver Hexahedron album cover.jpg

35px|text-top|left|⚠|link= ↗ Thanks for uploading ''':File:Ulver Hexahedron album cover.jpg ↗'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use ↗. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media ↗).

Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:47, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Question semantics ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

Hello, Biktor627. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation ↗ submission or draft ↗ page you started, "Question semantics ↗".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace ↗, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:Question semantics|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link ↗. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia!  DreamRimmer bot II (talk) 09:24, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
