Hello,
Questioning the use of 'etymological' in the opening line of my essay:
New and Classic Liberalism are ideological schools of thought centered on their fundamental, etymological premise of liberty.
Advice on whether this is suitable would be appreciated. I also considered using 'intuitive' in place of etymological. Perhaps even someone could, where I've failed, conjur another word which communicates the derivative relationship between Liberalism and Liberty.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thay are
NOT; thay are
very different.
Classical liberalism is indeed based on liberty & Individualism,
whereas new (Roosevelt-Kennedy liberalism) is
authoritarian and collectivist.
See if this post helps to explain it:

That means having to do with the history of a word
and its evolution.

@muffinomics,
(Facticity aside) I would simply replace
premise with
root, delete "of" and place "liberty" in inverted commas.
Stumble It!
