Template:dercat/documentation

This template can be used to make etymologies more concise and readable by omitting very early steps in the development of a word, while retaining the relevant categorization pertaining to those omitted steps. Usage of the template is optional, and the cutoff point for steps in the history of a word to omit is similarly up to the editor's judgment.

Parameters
