Word acceptance, usage, popularity have their own dynamics/metamorphosis

Few professions have distorted the connotations of words totally deracinated from their etymological sense ( which had lot of socio- cultural- historical perspectives of the times when those words came into existence , they - words- carried more authentic history, like for example the word 'cyber' ' internet' etc of relatively recent origin because they did not exist before). 

Worse still, the interpretations of meanings both distorted as well as contrived to justify something or someone. Religion and Politics have been great culprits in this. 

Whereas, LEGAL profession, though , may not be as appealing as religion and politics, cleared the misuse of terminologies in many cases ( I am referring from a global perspective over a few decades) and ensured to establish not only the intrinsic meaning of words in context and also exposed in various cases the 'telesis of terminologies' and cleared the air around misuse of and stretching of connotations beyond logically allowable context. 

However, of late, unfortunately, in certain countries, even the legal profession is succumbing to these wrong usage of words as a result of the religious/political/ ideological orientations/ affinities of the individual involved. 

This is a linguistic terrorism in a way as it destroys the  entire fabric, aura and historical importance of the terminologies. 

For example, some decades ago the words like ‘cyber’ ‘social media’ never existed [though now many media articles are more unsocial].

Word acceptance, usage, popularity have their own dynamics/metamorphosis which are sometimes etymologically obvious and interesting but at times mysteriously mutilated for various reasons justifiable or otherwise.

It is this metamorphosis which has carefully crafted certain words even from their vague denotations. 

For example, we would be surprised to know the common connection of words like “science, conscience and shit” which David Crystal-a great Linguist says, “all had originally common etymology”.

I thought for a longtime that the Britishers were obsessed with sex, of course like everyone else, and that’s why they have named their places like Essex, Sussex and Middlesex. But later on I learnt that they refer to only Saxons occupying different directions with varying dialects.
