| Nov 7, 2010 at 18:02 | comment | added | Ben Webster♦ | Yuji- I would recommend against creating a large number of such questions. I would also recommend that you check obvious sources first, and only come to MO when you have been unable to find the information elsewhere. For example, this question is basically unsuitable on the grounds that it is quite adequately answered by Wikipedia. | |
| Nov 7, 2010 at 17:12 | comment | added | Thierry Zell | Most etymologies are not that hard to track down, so unless the answers contain some insightful mathematical discussion spun off the strict etymologies, I doubt they would add much value to MO. | |

| Nov 7, 2010 at 11:59 | comment | added | Willie Wong | I'm personally lukewarm about this question, but that's just me. About your "meta question", for future reference, please ask them on Meta.mathoverflow (preferably before you ask questions here that you are not sure is appropriate). For this question (and other etymological ones), I've opened a meta thread: tea.mathoverflow.net/discussion/750/etymological-questions please discuss over there. | |
