Re the deja-vu. Maybe I have made the same comment on "τέκτων" before. Sorry, I can't remember. I write way too much on HN.
The wikipedia page you link favours the "wood-worker" translation, so you are probably right and I'm wrong, but I have to say that Greek _is_ my language and "τέκτων" just doesn't sound anything like "wood-worker" to me. It's probably just my modern ears. Thanks for correcting me and apologies for opining on something I don't understand that well after all (the etymology of the word).
