Definitions evolve over time; however, the heart of the context will almost always remain in the descriptivist's linguistic alterations. When you remove that, it is an entirely different word that didn't gradually evolve, but was forcefully changed in order to create a flagrant misrepresentation to oppose. There is a solid difference between interpretations evolving to accomodate cultural and political change and dismissing the basic principle of the definition.
