Where do you get your definitions from?
רעה is not 'graze' and not 'feed', it is 'roam freely'.
בתר is 'cut into separate pieces'.
פתר is 'solved', which in English means 'loosened', and so is פשר
אסר= עצר = אצר is 'accumulate, hoard, hold together, hold back'.

The ones I listed are from actual use in Tanakh, and I’m prepared to defend
them.
They are not from any made up etymologies.
In my book, actual use trumps etymologies any day, especially made up
etymologies that can’t be demonstrated.
