It is not the job of social reformers to keep the language pure; Most of the times, it is the writers of that time and era, who have to keep these meanings intact, because the writers mold the story and bring it directly to the readers' heart. For example 'Jihad' is one such word - The original meaning of this word is struggle against untruth for truth, struggle against unfair for fair; however, unfortunately, it is a synonym of terrorism - which results in hatred, violence and reprisal.
