Kind of like learning that “husband” meant “the one bonded to the house” and “wife” used to basically just mean woman. Oh! That reminds me:

One of my pet peeves is the modern usage of the word “wight” as a type of ghost or undead creature, because it’s purely fantasy guys misunderstanding Tolkien’s “barrow-wights” which just means “mound men” more or less. Wight is just the equivalent male term paired with “wyf” (wife, ie woman)
