حادس Hades

-->
Etymology of Arabic words: the word حادس
means Hades ( underworld/in the Antiquity,(in Homer) the name of the god of the underworld) and derives from the greek word άδης (adhis).
P.S. Question:Is in use this word in Arabic?
Please comments. 

 WIKIPEDIA

 Hades (play /ˈhdz/; from Greek ᾍδης (older form Ἀϝίδης), Hadēs, originally Ἅιδης, Haidēs or Άΐδης, Aidēs (Doric Ἀΐδας Aidas), meaning "the unseen"[1]) was the ancient Greek god of the underworld. The genitive ᾍδου, Haidou, was an elision to denote locality: "[the house/dominion] of Hades". Eventually, the nominative came to designate the abode of the dead. In Greek mythology, Hades is the oldest male child of Cronus and Rhea. According to myth, he and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated the Titans and claimed rulership over the cosmos, ruling the underworld, air, and sea, respectively; the solid earth, long the province of Gaia, was available to all three concurrently.




                          

 

الديالكتيك dialectic

-->
Etymology of Arabic words: the word الديالكتيك
means dialectic (philosophical discussion or discourse )and is(via German)of greek origin. The greek word is διαλεκτική (dhialectiki) and derives from the verb διαλέγομαι meaning in free translation “we dialogue” and comes from the Antiquity. In Turkish is diyalektik.

P.S. I found the following definition of dialectic in Arabic:  
الديالكتيك : أسمى ممارسة للعقل الخالص
=Dialectic: the highest exercise of the pure mind.
