Car[edit]
what is a hybrid car?
Latin hibrida, hybrida, mongrel.
Minton Warren's etymology[edit]
I've added Warren's etymology; it's quite widely referenced: Gooble books: minton warren hybrida. --Jayen466 14:13, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Well done. I also removed the mention of h-u-bris, which was written erroneously with "y" (h-y-bris), I suppose to push it to fit here, even if it does not.--FocalPoint 09:06, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- I haven't seen contemporary references to that etymology. I have put in a request for etymology at hybrida. DCDuring TALK 18:05, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- I have readded the etymology "(a) somehow related to Ancient Greek ὕβρις (hybris), “‘outrage’”)", sourced from Online Etymology Dictionary and Webster 1913, while mentioned by Century 1911 as a "very doubtful assumption" (“hybrid”, in The Century Dictionary […], New York, N.Y.: The Century Co., 1911, →OCLC.). Modern M-W online does not mention it. --Dan Polansky 21:56, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Unnecessary quoting?[edit]
Why does hybridized need to be quoted (1.4)?
