“Anarchy” is pretty directly from Greek through Latin.
Yes English has a lot of loanwords and they don’t always use the prescriptive meaning, and sometimes evolve. Like “English”. The language of the people of Angle-Land. Englaland (old English for England), if you will.
I think this is still fairly known despite having few to none practical applications.
That is still a proper noun though.
We’re talking about Greek and Latin words we use precisely because of their prescriptive meaning.
“Democracy” is still the rule of the people, despite “Democrat” being a party alignment in the US, and thus obviously having more meanings than the basic prescriptive meaning, but I think we can still agree that the word indeed means “the [common] people’s rule”.
So do other words we picked up exactly because of their prescriptive meaning keep their meanings as well.
Like synarchy, minarchy and anarchy.
Colloquially anarchists have switched to supporting minarchy, because it’s very evident to anyone that even a small society will need governing in some form, to function. So it wouldn’t be wrong to say that modern anarchism isn’t actually anarchy, but minarchic synarchism, just like I described.
yea well words tend to have multiple definitions and arent just latin afterall we are writing english not latin right?
