Big question to the name of Assassin Order

The English word assassin derived from Arabic word Hashshashin or hashish,meaning a kind of herb(?),which makes the Assassin Order and its members can not be called "Assassin" in form or semantics.Furthermore,"Assassins" operating before the medieval age,like the Roman and Chinese members,cannot be called that.I see that the ancient Roman Order was operated in the name of "Circle of Liberals",but how the designers name the game if it is set in such a period?Sleeplust (talk) 15:41, November 2, 2015 (UTC)

The use of the name "Assassins" for the organisation before the 11th century is anachronistic, since we don't know what they called themselves beforehand. This is actually touched upon in Syndicate. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 16:38, November 2, 2015 (UTC)
