Its English etymology from the 17th century was differentiated from the term "adaptation" which evolved from French in the middle 16th century and therefore was not initially an "error word" as you put it.

Although some may now view it as such, that's simply because layman no longer understand the difference between the two words and when to use one instead of the other, thus the distinctions have therefore become blurred over time by the misconception of what's acceptable as "common language".

Anyway, my point is not to debate whether it should or shouldn't be used in this case, merely to provide edification that it was indeed properly used by whomever had originally drafted that section of those articles after all.
