Ety 2 noun[edit]

I have changed this to a misconstruction of dynamic. Note that the cited writers include Chinese and Dutch people, i.e. probable NNES error. I have removed this 1899 citation too, because it seems to be a nonce pun, and may well relate to actual dynamiting or something (can't find the full text unfortunately):

  • 1899, Sir Mountstuart Elphinstone Grant Duff, Notes from a Diary, 1851-1901: 1889-1891, page 269:
    —— writes:— “Huxley observed to ——, 'We have now to study not the laws of dynamics, but of dynamitics.' ”
