Ah... the age old question;
"Which came first the Etymologist or the common use of the word?"

Then there is one of my old favorites "The Languages of Pao" by Jack Vance, based
on the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis/Linguistic Relativity and honoring Mario Pei. (Which
would say that "yes, words matter")

Luck;
Ken
