People, Giovanni Antonio Scopoli (RIP 1788) who invented it, did he know what is Old Norse? What do you write here? Longbowman (talk) 05:15, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He probably got it via English, which Gray and Frasier (2013) support as well; I've reworded the etymology. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:21, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, that's better. But complete etymology should include the author's name, can this be written according to your sources?Longbowman (talk) 05:53, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
