In the question: Confusion between the two different things. Replace one with the other (source: confusion between two different prayer segments called 'Yotzerot', as each Sabbath and holiday has its own 'Yotzerot' piyyut. The word "Yotzerot" originates from the fact that the piyyut that is said after the prayer "Yotzer Or" is spoken of. The origin of the expression is in the Yiddish language).
