@algernon@come-from.mad-scientist.club It never occurred to me that "artifact" and "artificial" might be related, and looking it up, indeed they are, but they took different paths to English. Artificial went Latin => French => English where Artifact went Latin => Italian => English

@Cyborus@social.cartoon-aa.xyz @algernon@come-from.mad-scientist.club would “artifice” be a more direct counterpart to “artificial”
