I just thought, I could assume the English language has only recently been
discovered and, attempting to trace its evolution, I could then postulate
that 'problematise' descends from a hypothetical ancestor 'problematy'. Or
even 'problematis'. Though I prefer the former, as it is reasonable to
speculate that a problematy was what occurred when the ancient ones found
their coinage unacceptable on washday at the local problemat.
