      There is no historic term that is as you describe, except maybe if you go back to ancient Greek philosophy. But even within philosophy the words are used as I described.

      You are making shit up, because you claimed that’s how “we” use it. In current tense.
      I hope you learned something, because your claim was way way off any definition.
