Talk:Primordial Divinity (Tai Di)

Etymology
While I can't comment on the Chinese etymology in the "Meaning" section, the etymologies presented for Latin and German are wholly incorrect and represent a spurious use of folk etymology. The etymology dictionaries I've consulted trace the Latin "Imperator" to "Impero" (to command) and not to "im-perare" (supposedly generating from within). Note that the Latin prefix "in-" usually signifies negation rather than within/inside. Similarly, the etymology for the English "god" does not appear substantiated in my reading. The word seems to be derived from "*gudą", which means invoked one. Notice again that "invoke" (which comes from the Latin "invocare") has nothing to do with bringing forth from within. Unless someone has a source contradicting me on this point, I recommend the "Meaning" section be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.202.177 (talk) 16:48, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
