Warlocks have nothing to do with war, but with truth and #trust.
A warlock is an oath-breaker.
@natecull Yes.
This also gets to the point that the words we use to describe /noncorporeal/ concepts, like "information", or "trust", or "war", or "confusion", have /very physical/ roots.
Oh, and the Online Etymology Dictionary is one of my favourite things on the Internet and can very much use support.

@natecull Another fun word is "sophisticated".

The meaning started changing ~1940 or so. I've got some dictionary definitions from the 1880s, 1940s, and present linked on G+ somewhere....
@dredmorbius Ah! That makes so much sense!
So to 'war' is to break, right? Or to break order.
('confusion' also literally meaning 'to mix', I think?)
