Verb: "To inform someone of a particular idea." How would this be used? Equinox ◑ 04:02, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

It seems "created in error" in this diff by an anon in 2004. Using substitution "They mapped" would mean "They informed someone of a particular idea." Perhaps they meant "To inform (someone} of {something}" = "They mapped him of Hegelian dialectic". Perhaps they meant "To inform (someone) (of something)" = "They mapped him Hegelian dialectic."

The first definition doesn't pass muster either.

IOW, it looks like we have to start over on the most basic definitions of the verb. Even old Webster definitions are probably better than what we have. I don't think it is worth trying to cite these at all. DCDuring (talk) 05:44, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

I suspect what is intended here is actually one of the definitions of map out. Kiwima (talk) 00:54, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
