Bad Etymology

Integration, n., from Latin inter among, and Old French grater to scrape: the social process of being ground into conformity.

Proportionate, adj. from Latin pro in favour, portāre to carry, and Greek Íōnes one of the founding tribes; hence a military response consistent with transporting an official enemy back to the Bronze Age.
