I noticed that when I was in Greece. Many Greek words sound like medical or scientific terms in English, because the words have Greek roots.
- cardia – heart (cardiac)
- podi – foot (podiatrist)
- prosopo – face (prosopagnosia)
- dontia/dondia – teeth (dental)
- dakhtilo – fingers (ptero-dactyl)
- chroma – color (chromatic)
- etc.
