The whole of linguistics is pseudoscientific because it ignores semantics.
For example, we can observe a very strange phenomenon. I'am going to make a simple list with words that I think their semantics are related. The list is:
renew

rebirth
|
resurrection

Etymologies:
early 13c., from a Scandinavian source, cf. O.N. *byrðr (replacing
cognate O.E. gebyrd "birth, descent, race; offspring;
nature; fate"), from P.Gmc. *gaburthis (cf. O.Fris. berd,
O.S. giburd, Du. geboorte, O.H.G. giburt,
Ger. geburt, Goth. gabaurþs), from PIE*bhrto pp.
of root *bher- (1) "to carry; to bear children" (cf.
Skt. bhrtih "a bringing, maintenance," L. fors,
gen. fortis "chance;" see bear (v.)). Suffix -th is for
"process" (as in bath, death). Meaning "parentage,
lineage, extraction" (revived from O.E.) is from mid-13c. Birth
control is from 1914; birth rate from 1859. Birth
certificate is from 1842.
late 13c., from Anglo-Fr. resurrectiun, O.Fr. resurrection,
from L.L. resurrectionem (nom. resurrectio)
"a rising again from the dead," from pp. stem of L. resurgere "rise
again" (see resurgent). Replaced O.E. æriste.
Originally a Church festival commemorating Christ's rising from the dead;
generalized sense of "revival" is from 1640s. Also used in M.E. of
the rising again of the dead on the Last Day (c.1300). Resurrection pie (1869)
was schoolboy slang for a pie made from leftovers of previous meals. Resurrectionist,
euphemism for "grave-robber" is attested from 1776.
Late
14c., from re- "again" + M.E. newen "resume, revive, renew;"
on analogy of L. renovare.

O.E. neowe, niowe, earlier niwe, from P.Gmc. *newjaz (cf.
O.Fris. nie, Du. nieuw, Ger. neu, Dan.,
Swed. ny, Goth. niujis "new"), from PIE *newos (cf.
Skt. navah, Pers. nau, Hittite newash, Gk. neos,
Lith. naujas, O.C.S. novu, Rus. novyi, L. novus,
O.Ir. nue, Welsh newydd "new"). New

investigation and discovery is from 1958. New England was
named 1616 by Capt. John Smith; Newfoundland is from 1585. New

1823, in Lord Byron. New Deal in the FDR sense attested by
1932.
Resurrection is a compound verb from resurgere "rise again". Re is a Latin prefix and it means "again". In this case re- is used with a verbal root surgere "to get up, to arise", but in Albanian re is an adjective-adverb and it means "new". Zura(e,i) is a verb form of Albanian. Zur- has a very long list in the Albanian dictionary; in one of them it means “to make".
In Albanian the gender is too important, and it has some bearing for the language semantics too. In linguistics the notion of gender is distinguished from the gender of the physical world and the plurality. In linguistics, plurality as a concept is being limited only to the concept of quantity. To definite the two concepts the linguistics bases on a arbitrary one-dimension selected criterion, but the feminine and the plurality concepts are semantically related. It is possible for words pertaining to the gender to be consistent with their respective semantic gender: producing other things, the "feminine" makes the plurality of persons or things as well, changeability, and portability.
Other examples from Albanian may illustrate the gender concept relates also to the space-time reproduction of the language objects such as drita ‘light’ as a feminine, ralated to a feminine dita ‘day’ and a feminine nata ‘night’.
The semantic of gender in Albanian can lead on these generalizations for the feminine class:
1. Sex- based genders of humans and animals.
2. Producibility : The Objects of the physical world that can produce, or can be producible infinite times: trees, vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc. Plural and "give birth" concept class.
3. Changeability: The phenomena of physical world that change their states repeatedly: day, night, light, dark, moon, etc. Changeable and Plural concepts class.
4.Portability: containers in general and kitchen equipment such as: cup, spoon, plate, mess tin, tray, etc.
A renew, rebirth, resurrection is a feminine language concept.
However, there is a common surrogate traditional accepted etymology: It comes from Latin fēminīnus, from fēmina 'woman' that Curtis and other philologists referred to"she who suckles," from root of felare "to suck, suckle".
There is also a common surrogate with the traditionally accepted etymology of the Hebrew noun for “woman” אשה ‘isha’ comes from איש ‘ish’ “man”.(Some think like the first recorded human sentence was a written sentence, not a spoken one, moreover that sentence included an etymology. Very interesting!)
Re-zure, Re-ber, and re-nje ( nji, njo, nja, një) are the Albanian combinations completely different from Latin and the supposed PIE theories, or whatever.
It is pretty simple to find out the semantics of the resurrection, renew, and rebirth distinguishing the complex whole of those words into their elementary before-words, which came from a previously language stage. For the resurrection they are: "re", "zure", "rezure" which fortunately exist today in Albanian. Their Albanian semantic combination is "make new". The "rebirth" is as easily to find its roots from Albanian "re" 'new' and "birth" 'made, is done'. Their Albanian semantic combination is the same as the word resurrection "made new" . Also, the "renew" would be pretty elementary to break down it if you know Albanian to the "re" and "nje" which you know already , which mean "a new one".
In contrast, the “re” ‘again” of Latin and the “re” ‘new’ of Albanian have a huge difference on their meanings because every “repetition” does not have the new “concept” on it. The “again” meaning is for saying that something happens or someone does something one more time when it has already happened or been done before. While every new is recently made, and never happened or used by anyone before. The "new" never is an “again” or a “repetition” Such accepted etymologies are pseudoscientific because they arrive at their conclusions without follow und understanding their pretty elementary semantics.
