Academic writing in the 70s 80s is where it started. As the "prejudice plus power" and as Marxists always do, they took a common word with connotation. Said "were using this in a very specific denotation for academic purposes. We absolutely do NOT encourage the use of this definition all the time wink wink"
Its a common Marxist trick, see exploitation or feminism. Common in the social sciences since they tend to just reuse words for the concepts they make up as opposed to mathematics or physics were they'll make up a new word. It's motte and Bailey writ large.
