Multilingual etymology
Sep. 17th, 2021 12:50 pmMy mind balks at compound words using roots from different languages. I got mostly used to "automobile" or "television" by dint of prolonged exposure, but I still find them slightly awkward. I find coinages like "dyscalculia" jarring, for all that the referrent exists and the word thus fills a glaring need. Is it just me, or do others experience this?
