Words Get Left Out when the writer thinks the reader 'Knows the Words that Should Go There'

On my blog, I'll frequently say '"Some word" is built on "these other words."' Well, I would frequently say that; but now it's '"Some word" is built on ancient words that mean "these other words" (unless it's actually built on 'those other words themselves' rather than on 'words that are translated into those other words').' I think about that obsessive specificity, "Why do I feel the need to write that out everytime?" Then I think of The Bible, and the way "Bible-scholars" will frequently misinterpret a Scripture because of 'words they don't see there' https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/22/us/misused-bible-verses-sessions/index.html I guess I don't want my readers to think "'this word' came from 'that word'" when it actually "came from OTHER WORDS THAT MEAN 'that word'"
