Contrary to popular belief, the word 'critic' does not come from Greek 'kriticos', meaning 'capable of making judgments', derived from 'krinein' 'to separate, decide', and the PIE root *krei- 'to sift, discriminate, distinguish'. The actual etymological truth reveals that 'critic' originates from the Geg Albanian word 'krie', meaning 'head', with roots 'kry', 'krie', and 'kreje'.
This revelation challenges the current language ideology and exposes the misinterpretation of the PIE lexicon. The actions of "capable of making judgments", distinguishing, discriminating, and differentiating are indeed performed by the brain, housed within our head, making the connection to the Albanian word 'krie' unmistakable. The true etymology of 'critic' has been obscured, but the truth is now revealed, shattering the misconceptions of modern linguistics."
