Yup. As much as I love etymologies and word histories, and in spite of the fact that etumon means 'true sense of a word according to its origin', I'd have to agree with you Faldo. Otherwise, one would have to say silly when one meant 'blessed' and blessed when one meant 'consecrated or sprinkled with blood'. OTOH, pleonasm is a great word!
