I have just found this one, but I don't know how extensive it is. Damnificado is not in it!

Damni-ficar me recuerda al catalán "ficar" (poner, colocar, fijar), por lo que creo que no viene de facio sino de figere. Por lo tanto, podría venir de "poner en el daño o en el perjuicio"

Lou Ann, en las entradas de la RAE hay una pequeña alusión a la etimología. Al menos para empezar está bien

Me encantada la RAE. Sé que hay una pequeña alusión a la etimología ... pero muy pequeña. Mira a esta sitio que encontré hace algunas meses. Me gusta la discusión sobre "con/conmigo/contigo". Eso es lo que me hizo empezar a buscar las etimologías de las palabras en español.
