So not ideal operation, and frankly, this could have been another search/find plugin folder? but a file called “word-replacer” did exist in plugin files even though I removed (all said search/replace) plugins from wp-admin dash plugin section. I opened all three files inside word-replacer plugin (again, not sure that was *this* plugin)…. but none of the files contained any code rewriting any words on my site. Sooooo big question mark there. Purged browser/site caches again after removing this last folder. Site now displaying correct text.
