Who said anything about etymology? Your problem was not knowing the current definition.
He explained the etymology as background information before pointing out what “apologists” means. He was correcting your misunderstanding of a word (the one you didn’t bother to look up and instead chose to react based on not knowing the word) and explaining why the false cognate existed. The main point wasn’t the linguistic history lesson. It was that “apologists” doesn’t mean “people apologizing”.
Just suck it up and learn, buttercup. You were wrong and are now doing a really bad rearguard action.
Okay, so instead of looking up the etymology of every single word you just want me to look up the definition of every single word? Oh yeah mate, thats completely reasonable actually 🤡🤡

God I feel bad for whoever knows you in real life, if you’re this insufferably smug over a stranger getting the definition of a word wrong, I cant imagine how much you have your head up your own arse in person.
