the centerline of the sidewalk tagged highway=crossing,

In such case I would add an OSM note
and ask for a resurvey.
And report issue to local government.
With this tag it is hard to guess
whatever it
highway=give_way would not map the situation, just the priority. Maybe it's
just me, but I think highway=give_way is an unclear tag. Who gives way to
who, in what direction?
I think it is better to tag it as a type of crossing. Can be rendered, can
be routed.

That tag is practically non-verifiable and therefore does not really
belong in OSM. But since everyone is free to add any tags they want in
OSM such tags of course exist.

I am against transforming OSM into an etymological dictionary. While etymological research is of
course valuable, such results are not easily verifiable for other users, and overload the tagging of
objects that have plenty of tags in current languages already.
There are systems like wiktionary.
These are no mismatches.
Keys and values are in principle arbitrary sequences of alphanumeric
characters. By convention we try to make them mnemonic by using strings
that somehow help us remember the meaning of the string. By convention we
use British English words for keys and values, plus numbers

No, the tag does not have a consistent meaning, it simply means some
mapper has at some point subjectively considered this feature to be an
active volcano.

Maybe a last_eruption:date=* tag (with a documented source) could be
