I did not sit through 13+ years of learning to speak, read and write the English language only to be told that anyone can pick any word they want, assign any meaning to it they want, and expect it to be accepted. Yeah, "language evolves" but sorry, your personal not liking it because of your assumed definition based only on the first two letters- which by the way, is not how the word is defined- is not a legitimate reason.

Well, technically we get them from matrona, matronae and patronus, patroni, which tend to refer to gods and goddesses more frequently after we move into the Empire . . .

Oy, I'm such a classics dork :(
