hydrocarbon found in carrots and other plants, 1861, from German carotin, coined 1831 by German chemist H.W.F. Wackenroder (1789-1854) from Latin carota "carrot" (see carrot) + German form of chemical suffix -ine (2), denoting a hydrocarbon.

1530s, from Middle French carrotte, from Latin carota, from Greek karoton "carrot," from PIE *kre-, from root *ker- "horn, head;" so called for its horn-like shape.

Reintroduced in Europe by Arabs c.1100. The orange carrot, perhaps as early as 6c., probably began as a mutation of the Asian purple carrot and was cultivated into the modern edible plant 16c.-17c. in the Netherlands. Planted as a garden vegetable by 1609 by Jamestown colonists.

carat=قيراط

carat=قيراط

ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:

carat (n.)

mid-15c., from Middle French carat "measure of the fineness of gold" (14c.), from Italian carato, from Arabic qirat "pod, husk, weight of 4 grains," from Greek keration "carob seed," lit. "little horn" diminutive of keras "horn" (see kerato-).

Carob beans were a standard for weighing small quantities. As a measure of diamond weight, from 1570s. The Greek measure was the equivalent of the Roman siliqua, which was one-twentyfourth of a golden solidus of Constantine; hence the word took on a sense of "a proportion of one twentyfourth" and became a measure of gold purity (1550s). Eighteen carat gold is eighteen parts gold, six parts alloy. It is unlikely that the classical carat was ever a measure of weight for gold.

Etymology/WICTIONARY

Middle French carat, from Italian carato, from Arabic قيراط (qirāṭ, “husk”), from Ancient Greek κεράτιον (keration, “carob seed”), diminutive form of κέρας (keras, “horn”).

Noun

carat (plural carats)

1. A unit of weight for precious stones and pearls, equivalent to 200 milligrams.
2. Formerly, any of several units of weight, varying from 189 to 212 mg, the weight of a carob seed.

Canopus=كانوبوس

Canopus=كانوبوس

ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:

Canopus

bright southern star, 1550s, ultimately from Greek Kanopos, Kanobos perhaps from Egyptian Kahi Nub "golden earth." The association with "weight" found in the name of the star in some northern tongues may reflect the fact that it never rises far above the horizon in those latitudes. Also the name of a town in ancient lower Egypt (famous for its temple of Serapis), hence canopic jar, which often held the entrails of embalmed bodies.

WIKIPEDIA

Canopus (/kəˈnoʊpəs/; α Car, α Carinae, Alpha Carinae) is the brightest star in the southern constellation of Carina and Argo Navis, and the second brightest star in the night-time sky, after Sirius. Canopus's visual magnitude is −0.72, and it has an absolute magnitude of −5.53.

One of the least famous of the brightest stars, Canopus was not visible to the Ancient Greeks and Romans; it was, however, visible to the Ancient Egyptians.[5] It is also referred to by its Arabic name: سهيل (Suhayl), given by Islamic scientists in the 7th Century CE.
