I'm ok with that one because there can be many recipes for each dish,
and it quickly becomes very arbitrary. But each word only has one
etymology, so there isn't that problem.
No, there isn't. And that's why Wiktionary can work. But articles
about words don't belong in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedias talk about
the concept behind the word, not the word itself.
