Yes that is an interesting word ,and not that uncommon. As a derivation (must be from the Latin surely) I break it up into "ob"and "via" where "ob" means something (a preposition) have forgotten but possibly "opposite" and "via" we all know. So ,I put it together and it sounds to me like "skirting around" But that might well be wrong.
Obviate derives from Late Latin obviare (meaning "to meet or withstand") and Latin obviam, which means "in the way" and is also an ancestor of our adjective "obvious." "Obviate" has a number of synonyms in English, including "prevent," "preclude," and "avert"; all of these words can mean to hinder or stop something.Aug 27, 2020 www.merriam-webster.com › obviate Obviate | Definition of Obviate by Merriam-Webster Google obviate etymology Your welcome Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Deepity Profound-seeming but superficial equivocation 2000 October 23, Ross, Don, Dennett's Philosophy: A Comprehensive Assessment, Cambridge: MIT Press, →ISBN, OL 9616138M, page 171: The air of paradox, however, is merely what Dennett calls (in conversation) a “deepity,” a claim that appears profound but is in fact a superficial equivocation. ... The deepity of unseeming seemings dissolves when one considers the unstated temporal dimension of all judgments, including judgments of appearance and reality. A deepity is a proposition that seems to be profound because it is actually logically ill-formed. It has (at least) two readings and balances precariously between them. On one reading it is true but trivial. And on another reading it is false, but would be earth-shattering if true. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Citations:deepity#:~:text=A deepity is a proposition,be earth-shattering if true.

Autological Etymology From German autologisch, from Ancient Greek αὐτός (autós, “self”) + λόγος (lógos, “word”) autological (not comparable) (grammar) Of a phrase (especially an adjective), possessing the property it describes. The word polysyllabic is autological, but the word monosyllabic is not. Because the word short is in fact short, it is considered autological. The word noun is itself a noun, and is thus autological.

Not your average hazelnut ...it's a..... Walnut https://www.etymonline.com/word/walnut Old English walhnutu "nut of the walnut tree," literally "foreign nut," from wealh "foreign" (see Welsh) + hnutu (see nut). Compare Old Norse valhnot, Middle Low German walnut, Middle Dutch walnote, Dutch walnoot, German Walnuss. So called because it was introduced from Gaul and Italy, distinguishing it from the native hazel nut. Compare the Late Latin name for it, nux Gallica, literally "Gaulish nut." Applied to the tree itself from 1600 (earlier walnut tree, c. 1400). Another one of those pesky foreign imports.
