"etymology_text": "From Middle English declinen, and ultimately Latin declīnō (“to bend, turn aside, deflect, inflect, decline”, from de (“down”) + clīnō (“I bend, I incline”)), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱley- (English lean). The senses arrived from two separate pathways in Middle English:\n* The grammatical sense came from Old English declīnian, which was borrowed directly from the Latin etymon.\n* All senses except the grammatical sense were derived from those of Old French decliner. Old French itself borrowed the verb from Latin.",
