Folk etymology (from [English] “folk” and Greek etymología -ἐτυμολογία- ‘true or original sense of a word) is defined as a change in the form and /or meaning of a word, which results from the incorrect assumption that it has a certain etymological origin. This supposition is triggered by some associations of form or meaning between the changing word, unfamiliar to the speakers, and a more familiar term.
