@Eirikr doublet: One of two (or more) words in a language that have the same etymology, but have come to the modern language through different routes.

zed: From Middle English zed, zedde, zede, from Old French zede, from Late Latin zeta, from Ancient Greek ζῆτα (zêta).
zeta: From the Ancient Greek ζῆτα (zêta).
Examples: host and guest, the former through Latin (particularly French) and the latter through Germanic (particularly Old Norse), both from Proto-Indo-European. Saying zed is "Latin-derived" and zeta is "Greek-derived" is pure nonsense, because they both comes ultimately from the Greek word, and the Latin word was borrowed from Greek.

I honestly think that's irrelevant here, but it is valid, so I've kept it.
I've reverted your other content removals from ゼット and ゼータ. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 19:06, 1 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
