Sorry, by use I mean use by the general population. Language is a method of conveying meaning. A word is meant to be a sound or collection of figures (if written) that both you and the person you are talking to can understand. If you use a different meaning than most people, then they won't understand you and language will be ineffective and pointless.

A word is defined by its use not its origin.
The word Latino arose from a confusion, and is thus a misnomer, but that does not change its modern meaning.
