Greek Philosophy and Learning

The study of medicine also evolved out of Greek philosophy and the later scientific revolution. English regularly uses Greek roots to create new words. The word gaster meant stomach in Greek and we get words like gastric and gastronomy from that root. Kallos meant beauty and from there we get a word like calligraphy. Pus meant foot and gave us words like tripod and podiatry. Hidor meant water and we get all the hydro words from Greek. Chroma meant color so it produced words like chromatic and polychrome just to name a few. Altos meant self.
