Talk:outlandish

Etymology
regarding this edit, why is it incorrect to provide the etymons of all components of the English word rather than only one out of the three? — Sgconlaw (talk) 23:18, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Only roots ever belong in root and en should only be found on out. -- 23:31, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * regarding, I didn't realize wasn't regarded as a root. However, where is the guidance which says that  is only to be used on some entries and not others? — Sgconlaw (talk) 14:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The same rules that apply to root apply to PIE word, except when the term is a word instead of root, we use PIE word. actually more directly descends from PIE prefix, which we don't have an entry for. --  17:34, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I see. So if an English word does derive from a PIE word rather than an affix or root, it would be appropriate to use in the entry. — Sgconlaw (talk) 19:44, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Remove affix from that sentence and you are correct. -- 19:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
