Bad Etymology

Audience, n. from Latin audiens hearing: those participants in a theatrical or cinematic presentation who are most assertive in making themselves heard, whether via mobile phones, spontaneous interaction, or instant critical commentary.

Yuletide, n. from Anglo-Norman jule the month of July, and Old English tīd season: the Christmas period, which in pre-modern times began slightly less early in the calendar year.
