Ancient Greek carried the epics, hymns and inscriptions of the religion.
Cedar, Plants Cedar is from Greek kedros through Latin cedrus, a name the ancients spread across several unrelated aromatic woods, so that cedar has never meant one tree.
The body is named for Cheiron, the centaur of Greek myth, following the convention that gave the classical planets their names from the same mythology.
Chrysanthemum is from Greek khrysanthemon, golden flower, from khrysos, gold, and anthemon, flower, describing the wild yellow species the Greeks knew.
The botanical name Celosia is Greek for burning, reading the crested head as a flame; the English cockscomb reads the same head as a rooster's comb.
Date is from Greek daktylos, a finger, for the shape of the fruit. With palm from the Latin, two body parts name one tree.
Hibiscus is from Greek hibiskos, which named the marsh mallow, a related but different plant; Linnaeus moved the old word to the showy tropical mallows.
Hydrangea is from Greek hydor, water, and angeion, a vessel, for the little cup-shaped seed capsules, not, as is often said, for the plant's thirst.
Lotus, Plants Lotus is from Greek lotos, a name the Greeks used for several unrelated plants at once, the Egyptian water lily, the fruit of the Homeric lotus-eaters and a clover, so the one English word inherits a confusion.
This edge names one proposed source language rather than a contested claim in its own right. Metatron's own name-origin facts already carry the dispute over a Greek or Latin metator derivation against the Second Temple Enoch-tradition reading, in full.
Why this is disputed. Sandalphon's name is usually explained as Greek, from syn, together with, and adelphos, brother, read as co-brother or twin, a fitting name for the angel paired with Metatron as his twin in Jewish mystical literature. Other scholars are unconvinced by any Greek derivation and treat the name's origin as unresolved, since no Hebrew or Aramaic root accounts for it either.
The books were Greek hexameter oracles read at Rome. That they were foreign material, in a foreign language, admitted into the state cult and consulted only by decree of the Senate through a dedicated priesthood, is much of what made them what they were.
Sycamore is from Greek sykomoros, fig-mulberry, the Levantine tree of that name, later fastened in Britain onto a maple and in America onto a plane.
Why this is disputed. The Pella curse tablet is written in a Northwest Greek dialect, but the classification of ancient Macedonian itself, the language or dialect the tablet is sometimes taken as evidence for, is the actual argument among historical linguists. Some treat Macedonian as a Greek dialect closely related to Northwest Greek varieties like the one this tablet shows; others argue for a separate, sister branch of Hellenic that shared vocabulary and contact with Greek without being a Greek dialect proper, and Emily Voutiras's study of the tablet's own context is itself part of a literature that has not settled the classification either way.
