example_words_corpus: pioneers | pioneered | pioneering | pioneeringly | cyberpioneer | cyberpioneers

categorical_group_list: Exploration, Leadership, Origin

etymology: Latin 'pioneer' is actually a French borrowing (pionnier), from Old French 'pion' (foot soldier, one who goes on foot), derived from Latin 'ped-' (foot). The root 'pioneer' itself is not Latin; it is a later formation. However, the prompt lists 'language: Latin' which is factually incorrect for the word 'pioneer'. Given the constraint to fill missing fields based on linguistic knowledge and the provided 'language: Latin' which is likely an error in the record or refers to the ultimate root 'pes/ped-', I must address the etymology of the word 'pioneer'. 'Pioneer' comes from Middle French pionnier, from pion, from Latin pes, ped- 'foot'. The root 'ped' is Latin. But the morpheme is 'pioneer'. This is tricky. Let's look at the 'affix_type: root' and 'bound_free_or_root: free'. 'Pioneer' is a free morpheme. The etymology of the word 'pioneer' is French, from Latin 'ped-'. If the record insists on 'language: Latin', it might be conflating the root. However, the etymology field should describe the origin of the specific morpheme 'pioneer'. 'Pioneer' is not a Latin word. It is a French word. I will provide the etymology of the word 'pioneer' as French, noting the Latin root. But the prompt asks for 'etymology' for the record where 'language: Latin' is already set. This is a contradiction. If I assume the 'language' field is the source language of the *root* or the *word*, and the word is 'pioneer', the language is French. If the word is meant to be a Latin root, 'pioneer' is not a Latin root. Perhaps the user means the root 'ped'? No, the morpheme is 'pioneer'. I will assume the 'language: Latin' field is an error or refers to the ultimate origin. I will fill 'etymology' with the correct etymology of 'pioneer'.
