A very fun thing is to look up word origins of words and terms I care about. There’s often a revealing or thought provoking history.
One of my favorites is the German word “enttäuschen” which means to disappoint but has a different original meaning.
However what irks me is when interest groups try to force a semantic change in order to fullfil a typically financial or political agenda.
Terms that have a positive connotation like “Open Source” need to maintain a degree of integrity in order to stay useful at all.
