oryx=أوريكس/المها

WIKIPEDIA

The term "oryx" comes from the Greek word Ὂρυξ, óryx, for a type of antelope. The proper plural form is óryges, although oryxes has been established in English.

Arabian oryx

The Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx, Arabic: المها), the smallest species, became extinct in the wild in 1972 from the Arabian Peninsula. It was reintroduced in 1982 in Oman, but poaching has reduced their numbers there. One of the largest populations of Arabian oryx exists on Sir Bani Yas Island in the United Arab Emirates. Additional populations have been reintroduced in Qatar, Bahrain, Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. As of 2011, the total wild population is over 1000, and 6000–7000 are being held in captivity. In 2011, the IUCN downgraded its threat category from Extinct in the Wild to Vulnerable, the first species to have changed back this way

Orphic=متعلق ب اورفيس

ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY

Orphic (adj.)

1670s, from Gk. orphikos "pertaining to Orpheus," master musician of Thrace, son of Eagrus and Calliope, husband of Eurydice, whose name (of unknown origin) was associated with mystic doctrines. Related: Orphism.

WIKIPEDIA

Orphism (more rarely Orphicism) (Ancient Greek: Ὀρφικά) is the name given to a set of religious[1] beliefs and practices originating in the ancient Greek and the Hellenistic world,[2][3][4][5] as well as by the Thracians,[6] associated with literature ascribed to the mythical poet Orpheus, who descended into Hades and returned. Orphics also revered Persephone (who annually descended into Hades for a season and then returned) and Dionysus or Bacchus (who also descended into Hades and returned). Orpheus was said to have invented the Mysteries of Dionysus.[7] Poetry containing distinctly Orphic beliefs has been traced back to the 6th century BC[8] or at least 5th century BC, and graffiti of the 5th century BC apparently refers to "Orphics".[9]

Orpheus=أورفيوس

Orpheus=أورفيوس

WIKIPEDIA

Orpheus (pron.: /ˈɔrfiːəs/ or /ˈɔrfjuːs/; Ancient Greek: Ὀρφεύς) was a legendary musician, poet, and prophet in ancient Greek religion and myth. The major stories about him are centered on his ability to charm all living things and even stones with his music, his attempt to retrieve his wife, Eurydice, from the underworld, and his death at the hands of those who could not hear his divine music. As an archetype of the inspired singer, Orpheus is one of the most significant figures in the reception of classical mythology in Western culture, portrayed or alluded to in countless forms of art and popular culture including poetry, opera, and painting.[1]

For the Greeks, Orpheus was a founder and prophet of the so-called "Orphic" mysteries. He was credited with the composition of the Orphic Hymns, a collection of which survives.[2] Shrines containing purported relics of Orpheus were regarded as oracles. Some ancient Greek sources note Orpheus's Thracian origins.[3]

oregano=الأوريغانو

oregano=الأوريغانو

ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY

oregano (n.)

1771, from Spanish or American Sp. oregano, from L. origanus, origanum, from Gk. oreiganon, from oros "mountain" (see oread) + ganos "brightness, ornament." The older form of the word in English was the Latin-derived origanum (mid-13c.), also origan (early 15c.). In Europe, the dried leaves of wild marjoram; in America, a different, and more pungent, shrub.

WIKIPEDIA

Oregano is the anglicised form of the Italian word origano, or possibly of the medieval Latin organum; this latter is used in at least one Old English work. Both were drawn from the Classical Latin term origanum, which probably referred specifically to sweet marjoram, and was itself a derivation from the Greek ὀρίγανον (origanon), which simply referred to "an acrid herb".[13][14] The etymology of the Greek term is often given as oros ὄρος "mountain" + the verb ganousthai γανοῦσθαι "delight in", but the Oxford English Dictionary notes it is quite likely a loanword from an unknown North African language.[15]

Musician=موسيقي

Musician=موسيقي

ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY

musician (n.)

late 14c., "one skilled in music," from O.Fr. musicien (14c.), or a native formation from music + -ian. Sense of "professional musical performer" first recorded mid-15c.

music (n.)

mid-13c., musike, from O.Fr. musique (12c.) and directly from L. musica "the art of music," also including poetry (also source of Sp. musica, It. musica, O.H.G. mosica, Ger. Musik, Du. muziek, Dan. musik), from Gk. mousike (techne) "(art) of the Muses," from fem. of mousikos "pertaining to the Muses," from Mousa "Muse" (see muse (n.)). Modern spelling from 1630s. In classical Greece, any art in which the Muses presided, but especially music and lyric poetry.

The use of letters to denote music notes is probably at least as old as ancient Greece, as their numbering system was ill-suited to the job. Natural scales begin at C (not A) because in ancient times the minor mode was more often used than the major one, and the natural minor scale begins at A.

Music box is from 1773, originally "barrel organ;" music hall is from 1842, especially "hall licensed for musical entertainment" (1857). To face the music "accept the consequences" is from 1850; the exact image is uncertain, one theory ties it to stage performers, another to cavalry horses having to be taught to stay calm while the regimental band plays. To make (beautiful) music with someone "have sexual intercourse" is from 1967.

Organ=أرغن ??

Organ=أرغن ??

ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY

organ (n.)

fusion of late O.E. organe, and O.Fr. orgene (12c.), both meaning "musical instrument," both from L. organa, plural of organum "a musical instrument," from Gk. organon "implement, tool for making or doing; musical instrument; organ of sense, organ of the body," lit. "that with which one works," from PIE *werg-ano-, from root *werg- "to do," related to Gk. ergon "work" and O.E. weorc (see urge (v.)).

Applied vaguely in late Old English to musical instruments; sense narrowed by late 14c. to the musical instrument now known by that name (involving pipes supplied with wind by a bellows and worked by means of keys), though Augustine (c.400) knew this as a specific sense of L. organa. The meaning "body part adapted to a certain function" is attested from late 14c., from a Medieval Latin sense of L. organum. Organist is first recorded 1590s; organ-grinder is attested from 1806.
