RFC discussion: October 2014
A few problems, only one of them major, which is tope which is definitionless but has "common usage: isotope i.e. "same place" (e.g. in the periodic table of the elements)." Not sure this is real or the definition that comes from that etymology. Etymology 1 I assume should be split, unless the "shark" and the "To drink excessively" senses are from the same etymology. Finally the Tamil and the Sanskrit would be nice, in etymologies 2 and 3. Thanks, Renard Migrant (talk) 17:56, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

 * I split the first etymology and deleted the fourth. I have a hunch the shark name is related to taupe because of the gray color, but I have absolutely no sources to back me up. The Buddhist structure sense looks like it might be a doublet of its synonym, stupa, but, there again, that's a guess. The deleted sense seems to be based on the assumption that isotope must be made up of two English morphemes- even though chemistry is full of terms coined from Greek parts that have no individual meaning in English.

Talk:dies Lunae

Confusing: at Monday the Latin translation seems to be dies lunae (lowercase l), but dies lunae redirects to dies Lunae. Assuming that both spellings are correct: what is the most used spelling?

 * I believe the capitalized form is mostly an Americanism/Britishism. The Spaniards, French, and other Romance-language-speakers write it all lowercase when using Latin. —Stephen 00:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Also notice that dies Solis, dies Lunae etc. correspond to Welsh dydd Sul, dydd Llun etc. (the Welsh dydd should be lowercase, unlike English Wiktionary!). - Jan from Belgium
 * Maybe you're right, Stephen. Strange, the Portuguese Wiktionary mentions solis dies, lunae dies etc., but also dies Solis, dies Lunae etc. Mind the different word order for lowercase and uppercase. See http://pt.wiktionary.org/wiki/Apêndice:Dias_da_Semana#Latim_cl.C3.A1ssico where you can find the days of the week in a very large number of languages.

dydd Llun
luna: part is definitely from Latin, but Welsh dydd: is of Common Celtic origin, from the same PIE root that gave Latin , so it's definitely not a borrowing, but some calquish translation. --Ivan Štambuk 14:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

 * And note: calques and similar "semantic borrowings" are not treated in Wiktionary etymologies as proper language sources; i.e. they shouldn't categorise into "xx:Language derivations" category. Similarly for ====Descendents==== sections of originating terms. --Ivan Štambuk 14:23, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Foxjwill~enwiktionary/Etymology guidelines proposal

Detail
Only parent words and languages should be included because having related words in other languages simply clutters the section. Also, it doesn't need to be written in a complete sentence. Foxjwill 00:00, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No, cognate words are very useful for people interested in etymology. They are the hard evidence which back up reconstructed forms. Widsith 07:03, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I see what you're saying there. Should we then organize the formatting a bit to include a "main etymology" section along with a "cognate words" section (or some organization similar--possibly bullets)? Foxjwill 20:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Formatting
Parent words should be italicized if they are in Roman script. They should link to their respective articles whether created or not so readers can access them quickly. Foxjwill 00:00, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I will go along with this, it seems to be the consensus view. Widsith 07:03, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Abbreviations
I'm for not using any since the only ones I've seen are abbreviations of from and through. However, I'm not an expert on etymology, so I don't know if there are others we'd need. Foxjwill 00:00, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Suggest French audio pronunciation file be cropped to exclude "un", French "a". The inclusion of a separate word is unnecessarily confusing, especially to those unfamiliar with French; also, I believe it is technically and otherwise inaccurate for the pronunciation file of a term to include anything but that term, especially when the inclusion is not explicitly stated.

Adjectival phrase? I think not. Adjectives precede the noun they modify. --Ptcamn 06:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Not always - see galore for example. SemperBlotto 07:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Adjectives that follow their nouns are called postpositive adjectives. I was thinking along the lines of Sergeant Major and beef Wellington - but there is a whole article on them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-positive_adjective  14:07, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

 * I agree with the galore argument, plus this term *should* be on here, because non-Scottish people often don't know what it means. For what it's worth, Sergeant Major is a little different, because it is in fact a contraction of Sergeant Major General, so it is a rank of General, who is subordinate to a Lietenant General, who is then subordinate to a General.

Does the first sense really exist or is this just a synonym of pissing contest?
I must have watchlisted this a while back and forgotten about it. I think I intended to RFV or at least touch up the first sense. It seems like the type of thing that would be hard to verify since it depends on the author's opinion. To take an extreme example, if I read the sentence
 * As the first snows fell, Magalahīs launched a pissing war by sending 500,000 winter-hardy soldiers north into Iremim to take on Iremim's entire army all at once.

I would think the author was belittling the conduct of the attacking general, or perhaps even of both sides, rather than lauding the brave soldiers on both sides of the war. Yet it is a perfect example of the supposed violent first sense of the term, since it involves a violent struggle for control of territory.

Put another way, our entry reads as if the serious sense is primary and that the belittlement sense is derived from it. I think that at best it's the other way around, and that it's more likely the first sense doesn't exist at all, being due to occasional readers' inability to read the emotions of an author. Thoughts? — Soap — 10:56, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Its worth noting that when this page was sent to RFV back in 2006 (the results of which are above), the sense Im challenging was the only sense given, and the wording was identical to today's. The first cite is no longer accessible, but from the context given I feel safe assuming that none of the four cites we found during the RFV involve violence.  Since the RFV was for the entire page, it may be that we decided the way to save the page was to add a new sense that corresponded to the cites we found, and perhaps at the time it simply wasn't customary to delete the less-founded sense of such a term. — Soap — 13:12, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your e-mail but how dare you to take such a high handed attitude?

This is NOT "ridiculous stuff" and I strongly object to your assertion that it is a "nonsense term". If you had bothered to look at the references I carefully included, one of which was to the sister site Wikipedia, you would have seen that this is a properly recognised activity.

Wiktionary is described as an open content DICTIONARY so words which appear elsewhere in proper usage should rightly be included in Wiktionary, regardless of your own personal views on the underlying activities involved.

You do yourself and Wiktionary no credit whatsoever by taking this holier than thou attitude and dismissing anything you don't like with such alacrity. I expect you to reconsider.

Thank you.

Talk:electric

About the etymology
In the etymology of this word the following text appears currently:

 * From Latinized Greek electrinus "made of amber", from Ancient Greek ἤλεκτρον (elektron) "amber", from ἠλέκτωρ (elektor) "shiny, bright", from ἥλιος (helios) "sun".

 * 1) Is it electrinus or electricus?. The word ἠλεκτρικός is not in my dictionary but it does not seem to be an improbable ancient Greek word. Is it electrinus a typo or was electricus never used in Latin centuries ago?.
 * 2) According to my dictionary of ancient Greek (634 pages thick, small type, pocket sized, hand bound, probably quite more than sixty years old, bought in a secon-hand bookshop and with no mention of the author, the editor or the place where it was printed whatsoever but a good one) ἠλέκτωρ is a masculine noun meaning just "the sun". The ending of the word is not a adjectival Greek one. If the root means "to shine", it would mean "the shining one" or "the radiant one" rather than "shiny" or "radiant".
 * 3) The same dictionary, immediately after the definition, goes on thus (the words between square brackets are mine): «as if ἀλέκτωρ [cockerel], fr. α 1 [negative prefix, 'without', '-less'] , and λέκτρον [bed] , Κ.Η.ζ, 513.» ... i.e. along with the suffix "-ωρ" (English "er") it would mean something like "bed remover" (a good nickname for a cockerel, I guess). This makes me think that the etymology may be more complex than that stated in the article. I do not know what the reference  "Κ.Η.ζ, 513" is but this could be one of those cases where a blending of concepts and similar words get together to make up a "catchy clever" word. It might be as well an ancient folk etymology, though. According to this, the origin of the Greek word elektron is unknown...--Piolinfax 12:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * As for question 1: "electricus", which was coined in De Magnete in 1600, so it's "New Latin", apparently... I'm writing about the etymology on Wikipedia in quantity of electricity (though this might be moved to a different title).
 * It also appears that "electric" could be used as a noun originally; a piece of amber would be called "an electric" to signify that it could hold a charge. Omegatron 00:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Oh. This is actually the only definition present in the 1828 and 1913 Websters: Omegatron 00:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * This gives an archaic definition, too, so my edit was good. Omegatron 01:46, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

RFV discussion: December 2017–January 2018
Sense 4:

 * Drawing electricity from an external source; not battery-operated; corded.

Does this really exist, other than as a mistake, i.e. someone not understanding that a rechargeable device is also "electric"? Mihia (talk) 19:02, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I think mistakes are a major cause of language change. In addition, I think it is very difficult to call any particular usage a mistake if the mistake is a narrowing or broadening of an establish meaning or an extension outside the previous realms of usage. An narrowed definition for a word like electric seems like a challenge to cite. DCDuring (talk) 00:05, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
 * This is not support for the definition under challenge, but it does illustrate a distinction between electric and "truly electric":
 * DCDuring (talk) 00:25, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
 * DCDuring (talk) 00:25, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Thanks for finding the quotes. Personally, I think the two above are simply nonsense, in terms of their use of the word "electric". I don't necessarily think we should record every misuse of a word in the dictionary. Mihia (talk) 02:27, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

 * The quotes are interesting, but do not support the supplied definition. Neither the electric car or electric watch referred to uses a power cord during operation. These quotes seem to indicate, rather, that we might want to add entries for electric car and for electric watch, because they are more specific than sum-of-parts.

Talk:zorrillo

quote
Came across a nice citation over at Skunk:

"We saw also a couple of Zorillos, or skunks,--odious animals, which are far from uncommon. In general appearance the Zorillo resembles a polecat, but it is rather larger, and much thicker in proportion. Conscious of its power, it roams by day about the open plain, and fears neither dog nor man. If a dog is urged to the attack, its courage is instantly checked by a few drops of the fetid oil, which brings on violent sickness and running at the nose. Whatever is once polluted by it, is for ever useless. Azara says the smell can be perceived at a league distant; more than once, when entering the harbour of Monte Video, the wind being off shore, we have perceived the odour on board the 'Beagle.' Certain it is, that every animal most willingly makes room for the Zorillo."

 * —Charles Darwin, The Voyage of the Beagle

I was going to add this, but I see we have no English sense to put it under. (I don't know if Darwin thought "Zorillo" was a Spanish or English name, or what.) —scs 13:16, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
