population

from Latin populatio, "laying waste, devastation; plunder, booty, prey; population"
from populor "plunder, bereave/rob, destroy, waste"

population noun
  • the whole number of people or inhabitants in a country or region
  • the total of individuals occupying an area or making up a whole
  • the total of particles at a particular energy level
  • the act or process of populating
  • a body of persons or individuals having a quality or characteristic in common
  • the organisms inhabiting a particular locality
  • a group of interbreeding organisms that represents the level of organization at which speciation begins
  • a group of individual persons, objects, or items from which samples are taken for statistical measurement

In many Latin dictionaries, populatio has been split into two separate entries, segregating the exact same word instead of simply listing all its meanings in one entry.

Additionally, the added contemporary meanings make room for truthful (as per the definition) but deceptive or misleading statements.

Such as, reading the statistics of a population of a country, the reader will not consider that it refers to a mere group (as per "a group of individual persons, objects, or items from which samples are taken for statistical measurement")
