Well...in case you really mean the sin in Christianity, and not that angle in trigonometry...look at a dictionary: Sin | Define Sin at Dictionary.com
But I'm pretty sure God wants us to remember our maths stuff too...just sayin'.

I think that the OP is referring to sin in general, like, all have sinned and fall short of God's glory.
To go along with what you're saying, Paul said whatever isn't of faith is sin.
Romans 14:20-23
Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense. It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles. The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.
And then James says to know the right thing to do and to not do it is sin.
James 4:13-17
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.” But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

Chester, he meant "scholars" in a good way. He was referring to US as the scholars in his op. Those who have begun to walk with God by the Spirit are true scholars of God. 
So he is saying that men who walked with God in the middle ages began to see that a better word maybe could convey the meaning of the original Hebrew or Greek word.
It really isn't something bad. It would be like trying to translate into another language for someone and then realizing you did not pick the best word in their own language to fully convey what you wanted to.

God loved me enough to let me fall, that I might see the lesson in the fall, that I might stand tall and over the fall, the question then becomes why did I fall ? Because I disobeyed the commandment of God and gave life and form to the knowledge of evil. As the lesson begins with the knowledge of good and evil, just as it shall end with the knowledge of good and evil as well, now in the end the question will be, which side will a person be on, the good side or the evil side ? Choices !

Beta----in response to your question...Well, from all appearances, no one studies Greek anymore, and that is ok. I've studied four languages, and that's not to brag. Some people study sports. they can tell you what their quarterback ate for breakfast...they are amazing. I am sad that the church doesn't even know what sin is. I am hopeful that this is helpful, but, like Wycliffe, I am taking to the hills of Germany soon.
