Noi reconsiderări etimologice și lexico-semantice în Dicționarul etimologic al limbii române (DELR), litera E
New etymological, lexical and semantic re-evaluations in The Etymological Dictionary of Romanian (DELR), letter E

Summary/Abstract: The article reveals the contribution of the editorial team of the new etymological dictionary of Romanian (DELR – Dicţionarul Etimologic al Limbii Române) to the re-evaluation of etymologies or lexicographic definitions of words registered in previous academic dictionaries. In this article we present examples excerpted from the most recently completed volume, that covering the letter E. The following types of re-evaluation are illustrated: (i) solving situations of unknown etymology; (ii) correcting erroneous etymologies; (iii) providing necessary additions to previous etymologies; (iv) correcting lexicographic definitions or adding new meanings; (v) distinguishing two or more words instead of one, or making one lexical entry instead of two; (vi) correcting the forms of the registered words; (vii) eliminating words whose existence in the language could not be confirmed.
