Lazy Dictionary Writers.

Dictionary Writer 1 "Hey this older dictionary we are copying don't have the etymology for gumption."

Dictionary Writer 2 "Should we just make something up?"

Dictionary Writer 3 "No, we might get into trouble if we do."

Dictionary Writer 1 "Lets just say it's origin is unknown, that way we can't get into any big trouble."

Dictionary Writer3 "Cool."

Dictionary Writer 2 "Sounds good to me."
