Yeah, many words are literally divorced from their etymological root. Literally ;)

I know this is eight days later, but I just want to give sincere applause to this comment. I think this is the first time I've seen 'literally' used in what can be described as "correctly" (i.e., in line with the etymological root).

All those using it to mean 'factually' are out there making a farce of the language. A farce!
