word origins

Singular origin...sound.

historical connections

Each ones consent to his-story establishes a connection.

tenuous at best

That's in the eye of the beholder aka the being choosing to hold onto the aforementioned connection.

To make connections that are not obvious. Kind of like what u/free-will-of-choice pretends to be doing

Why would FREE make CONNECTIONS? That contradicts itself...

I glanced over it. For me, it seemed to be an exploration of word origins

Try glancing over Ior Bock 'The Bock Saga" for way more word origins...
