    According to etymology, you are wrong:

    The English word "majority" ultimately derives from the Latin word "major" meaning "greater." Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

    Latin Roots:
    The Latin adjective "major" translates to "greater," often in terms of size, extent, or importance. This is a comparative form of "magnus," meaning "great."

    Medieval Latin & Old French:
    From "major," the Medieval Latin noun "majoritas" was formed, meaning "the greater part or number." This term eventually found its way into Old French as "majorité."

    Transition into English:
    The English language adopted "majorité" from Old French, transforming it into "majority" by the early 16th century. Initially, it held the meaning of "the condition of being of full age," i.e., adulthood, and later evolved to mean "the greater number or part."

  5. Why are you completely disregarding the legal, Cambridge, and Oxford definitions?

    Again, Trump won the majority according to the legal definition and the definitions found in the Cambridge and Oxford dictionaries. That is 100% true statement.
