I reverted your edit to stymie because it seems a bit of a stretch for a golf term to be directly borrowed from Ancient Greek, especially since it seems to require a rather unusual pronunciation of the eta (it's not "aita"). Eta started out as a long "a" as in "father", changing to long "e" as in measure, and finally ending up as "i" as in machine in modern Greek. The Scots term is a much better fit. Of course, the origin of the Scots term is uncertain, but it doesn't seem any more likely for Scots to borrow it than English. It also had none of the formatting that should be used in an etymology. I gave you our welcome template so you can familiarize yourself with our standards. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:06, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
