Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalues_and_eigenvectors

More or less wrong translation of "eigen":

"eigen" is a loanword from German. The article says it would mean "proper" or "characteristic". I do not think that really meets the word's meaning, especially in this context. "eigen" does most of the times mean more or less directly "own" or "of it's own". A direct translation would be "of-it's-own-vector" and I am quite sure this better fits what an eigenvector really is, a vector belonging to something (whatever this may be).

Kind regards
