Etymology issues are always delicate to discuss online.  If you intend
to be sarcastic then we should stop this discussion...No harm done ;)

What is a *formal language* to you?  Which one are you refering to ?
And what is the interest in describing terms?  What impact does it
have on formalizing common sense?  How do you describe terms ?

Let me rephrase what you have said

*one formalizes common sense by using formal language to describe
terms*

Do you think this is clear?  None of the terms making this
*definition* makes sense or exposes a clear thinking you seem to
advocate.
