Point away, you completely missed mine. “Caucasian” means “from the Caucasus”, “Asian” means “from Asia”. It’s a coincidence that “Caucasian” has the word “Asian” in it, they’re not from the same root words. Otherwise, either Asia would be called Asus or the Caucasus would be called the Caucasia. Look up the word “etymology”, I don’t think you understand the concept.

They mean etymologically. Asians are from Asia, not “Asus”.
I’m not debating that, because it has nothing to do with whether the words Caucasus and Asia have the same origin, which they objectively, pedantically, do not. Caucasus derives from Scythian language, whereas “Asia” comes from the Hittite language.
