That wasn’t the original definition. Words change meaning.

You seem to struggle with that concept. Hence your constant appeal to a dictionary is lazy.
The first use of informal ditch to mean leave did not appear in writing until 1899.
Dictionaries don’t actually define words. They catalog (incompletely) what others mean when they use words.
