I copied/pasted from M-W and thought that the whole copy would paste. It didn’t. It left out two words:

“Student Definition”.

Should have been paying attention. The point was that students get a different definition.

Also, as with many other words, that particular word has become “contaminated” and “twisted”. “Propaganda” at one point in time decades ago, was defined as, “news”, period.

Well...that certainly is interesting! Thank you for reply.

Can you provide a link because I still don't see it on the source I cited for Merriam-Webster. Is it a completely separate dictionary?
