Poor write up

Okay, perhaps the word which became "belfrey" - the original "berfrey" - did not derive from the word "bell," as indicated in the first sentence in today's WOTD write-up. This was actually an interesting etymological lesson. But as the author goes on to explain how the word "bell" had a direct influence on the transition between the original word and the modern one, the first sentence of this Did You Know? write-up is revealed to be inaccurate. Simply including the word "originally" in this first sentence would have made it better.
