{{Chris|degout=Then I must point out, again, that the usage of the word in the Final Fantasy series does not constitute an etymology, but rather the origin of the spell and its usage in this one specific context. If what you say is placed now under the heading of "etymology", the heading itself shall need to be changed to read "origin" on each page where it so appears.}} | |||
First, the trivia I wish to speak about. Then I will talk about the etymology again. | |||
*''Holy is one of several spells that appear recurringly in spinoff games that are not castable in main-sequence games. Other such spells include Quake, Warp, Raging Storm, Mega-Flare, and Tornado. <span style="color:red;">Rule of thumb is that it must be unique to be trivia. Besides, this speaks of non KH games.</span> | |||
*Although it often has an attribute of its own in Final Fantasy titles, Holy has no attribute in the Kingdom Hearts series. '' <span style="color:red;">It doesn't have an attribute because it was never actually a castable spell. In CoM it was a slight (not a spell). In BbS, it is a Deck Command (I'm not sure if other spells are deck commands or not).</span> | |||
Ah, on to etymology. | |||
''Dictionary.com'' reads: | |||
''–noun, plural -gies. | |||
# the derivation of a word. | |||
# '''an account of the history of a particular word or element of a word.''' | |||
# the study of historical linguistic change, esp. as manifested in individual words. '' | |||
Examples on the wiki that lead to the second definition: | |||
*[[1001 Nights]] | |||
*[[Megacosm]] | |||
In fact, I'm not going to list any more. If you look at any weapon article with etymology (magic ''is'' a weapon), you will find not the origin of the actual words, but the reference of their names. | |||

:Oh, and why is Roxas in the "See also"? {{The Inexistentsig}} | |||
