hahaha.. yea its really awful,
the page ends there itself... the second link is the same as the first one,

Very interesting, some of the ancient meanings; but I wonder how much light they shed on current usage of the word in English, which was significantly narrowed by Freud's specialized use of it. Despite my three etymological dictionaries' glowering at me from my bookshelf, I have to say that what I call etymological interpretations often tend to have a red-herring function similar to the digressive nature of the Internet. Do pardon the back-formation, but no English speaker today would refer to a pruned tree as having been catharsed even though I will readily concede that an emotional/psychological catharsis has a pruning effect. The clearing of land is an even more problematic connection in this era, when it is often seen as ultimately destructive to both the land and the creatures living on it.....

Lots of food for thought here.....
