Errors in etymology
The etymology of the word civilization given by Jensen is faithfully reproduced in the article, but contains some errors. First, the Latin word for city or city-state is civitas, not civitatis; the latter is the Latin genitive of civitas, meaning of the city. More importantly, civis is not derived from civitas; rather, it is the other way around. A civis is a resident, someone who has settled in some location, originally Rome. Civitas is formed from civis by adding the suffix -itas, like unitas (one-ness) is formed from unus (one). The original meaning is the civis-ship, the community of residents of an inhabited place.
While we as editors should avoid indulging in original research, we should also not reproduce statements "as is" when we know them to be erroneous just because there is a "reliable" source. It is easily verified from any standard etymological source (e.g., Harper, Douglas. "city". Online Etymology Dictionary.; see also Lewis & Short civis and civitas), that Jensen's presentation is incorrect. --Lambiam 21:16, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
