My etymology is the same as yours!
Well, I looked at both of them, and they are substantially different, but whatever floats your boat ...
Of course etymologic origins are essential technical aspects to be considered; however, they are not the exclusive method for assessing the evolution of word meanings. Fundamental considerations include more empiric criteria similar to simple associative applications like the angle created by at the junction of the rod and line.
I see. So we just get to make stuff up while sitting in our armchair contemplating the future. OK, works for me. The etymology of eye is the two lidded eyes on either side of the nose.
The common man contributes to the evolution of word meaning, but seldom consults etymologic sources!
Sorry, I obviously mistook you for somebody seriously interested in etymologies of words. My bad.
