Same thing with the guy who named it ‘dyslexia.’
This word is actually not named maliciously at all. From Greek:
“Dys,” meaning “bad,” or “abnormal,” like in Dysfunctional
“Lexia” from “Lexis,” meaning “reading.” Think of “lexicon.”
So now you have a perfectly normal word in Greek that came to the modern age and now is ironic because it’s not exactly native
