Removed the description "originally AAVE"

[edit]

Removed the description "originally AAVE" because it necessarily must be false. According to the only reference in the word’s etymology (the information displayed after clicking the little “1” on the last sentence of the etymological description of this word), the origin is stated to be uncertain. “‘Although its exact origins are uncertain,...’”. I will concede it to be true that it got popularized by AAVE, but because of the sources provided for the etymology of this word, this "originally AAVE" description naturally becomes false.

Also, I reverted the change because I accidentally pressed enter while still writing a description of the reason why I did the first change. I just wanted to put my full reason why I took it out even though I made the error. I'm new to Wiktionary as an editor. I just figured I'd put the finished thing of what I wanted to say here.
