    Ok but honestly, they didn't mix up the names.

    Definitions of each word:

    Succor
    suc·cor
    ˈsəkər/
    noun
    noun: succour; noun: succor

    1.
    assistance and support in times of hardship and distress.
    synonyms: aid, help, a helping hand, assistance;

    Succor does just that, it assists with a heal, and supports with a shield.

    Medica

    Medicago (family: Fabaceae, the legume family) is a genus of flowering plants, commonly known as medick or burclover. The name is based on Latin medica 'alfalfa, lucerne,' from μηδική (πόα) 'Median (grass).'

    Which fits perfectly in line with the White Mage's nature theme.

    I have quite liked that naming conventions from both XI and XIV; there are countless mythological references from civilizations the world over, especially with regards to monsters. It seems that using Latin for scholar would make more sense given the title of the class, but continuity of their naming conventions would be a nice thing, regardless of which language they choose.
    It would probably sound really odd to laypeople if they actually used proper Latin forms for things though. I mean, using nouns for actions just strikes me as odd; I feel that the naming of actions should take a verbal form. How do you conjugate it though? Using a present infinitive form would make the most sense, but then everything would end in -re...

    I don't know, it would be interesting to see. Every since Aegolism, I have been pretty open to whatever lol. If nothing else, it's fun to see people try to pronounce.
