Skt. dus-, O.Pers. duš- "ill," O.E. to-, O.H.G. zur-, Goth. tuz- "un-"), a derivative of *deu- "to lack, be wanting" (cf. Gk. dein "to lack, want"). Very productive in ancient Greek, where it could attach even to proper names (e.g. dysparis "unhappy Paris"); its entries take up nine columns in Liddell and Scott. Among the words formed from it were some English might covet: dysouristos "fatally favorable, driven by a too-favorable wind;" dysadelphos "unhappy in one's brothers;" dysagres "unlucky in fishing;" dysantiblepos "hard to look in the face."

Spelled entre- in French, most words borrowed into English in that form were re-spelled 16c. to conform with Latin except entertain, enterprise.

A rhapsode (Greek: ῥαψῳδός, rhapsōdos) or, in modern usage, rhapsodist, refers to a classical Greek professional performer of epic poetry in the fifth and fourth centuries BC (and perhaps earlier). Rhapsodes notably performed the epics of Homer (Iliad and Odyssey) but also the wisdom and catalogue poetry of Hesiod and the satires of Archilochus and others. Plato's dialogue Ion, in which Socrates confronts a star player rhapsode, remains our richest source of information on these artists.





aloe=الألوة

-->
aloe=   الألوه نبات  ,  الألوة
WIKIPEDIA: Aloe /ˈæl/, also Aloë, is a genus containing about 500 species of flowering succulent plants. The most common and well known of these is Aloe vera, or "true aloe".

 The Ancient Greeks and Romans used aloe vera to treat wounds.

ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:
aloe (n.)
O.E. alewe "fragrant resin of an East Indian tree," a Biblical usage, from L. aloe, from Gk. aloe, translating Hebrew ahalim (plural, perhaps ultimately from a Dravidian language). The Greek word probably was chosen for resemblance of sound to the Hebrew, because the Greek and Latin words referred originally to a genus of plants with spiky flowers and bitter juice, used as a purgative drug, a sense which appeared in English late 14c. The word was then misapplied to the American agave plant in 1680s. The "true aloe" consequently is called aloe vera.
