Why, when I search for the term, "authority," I also get results for "author," "authors"? They are two different ideas...
Search conducted with criteria "All Text" in one specific book.
Results same even when I put authority in quotation marks.
Try unchecking ...match all word forms
Under search options try selecting "match case"
All word forms? Match case? Which author designed this? Did he have the author-ity? Was his god 'Thor' ("Ah, Thor ....").
Logos uses a canned routine for identifying "all forms" ... and on words with homoglyphs all such routines have problems. However in this case the routine appears to be etymologically accurate. Remember "all forms" applies to the lemma not the sense.
authority (n.) early 13c., autorite "book or quotation that settles an argument," from Old French auctorité "authority, prestige, right, permission, dignity, gravity; the Scriptures" (12c.; Modern French autorité), from Latin auctoritatem (nominative auctoritas) "invention, advice, opinion, influence, command," from auctor "master, leader, author" (see author (n.)). Usually spelled with a -c- in English till 16c., when it was dropped in imitation of the French. Meaning "power to enforce obedience" is from late 14c.; meaning "people in authority" is from 1610s. Authorities "those in charge, those with police powers" is recorded from mid-19c.
author (n.) c.1300, autor "father," from Old French auctor, acteor "author, originator, creator, instigator (12c., Modern French auteur), from Latin auctorem (nominative auctor) "enlarger, founder, master, leader," literally "one who causes to grow," agent noun from auctus, past participle of augere "to increase" (see augment). Meaning "one who sets forth written statements" is from late 14c. The -t- changed to -th- 16c. on mistaken assumption of Greek origin.
...[W]riting means revealing onesself to excess .... This is why one can never be alone enough when one writes, why even night is not night enough. ... I have often thought that the best mode of life for me would be to sit in the innermost room of a spacious locked cellar with my writing things and a lamp. Food would be brought and always put down far away from my room, outside the cellar's outermost door. The walk to my food, in my dressing gown, through the vaulted cellars, would be my only exercise. I would then return to my table, eat slowly and with deliberation, then start writing again at once. And how I would write! From what depths I would drag it up! [Franz Kafka]
That worked. Thank you!!
Thank you!!
