monoceros (n.)

c.1300, "the unicorn," from O.Fr. monoceros "unicorn," from L. monoceros, from Gk. monokeros, from mono- "single" (see mono-) + keras "horn" (see kerato-).

This is a modern constellation, generally supposed to have been first charted by Bartschius as Unicornu; but Olbers and Ideler say that it was of much earlier formation, the latter quoting allusions to it, in the work of 1564, as "the other Horse south of the Twins and the Crab"; and Scaliger found it on a Persian sphere. [Richard Hinckley Allen, "Star Names and Their Meanings," London: 1899]

unicorn (n.)

early 13c., from O.Fr. unicorne, from L.L. unicornus (Vulgate), from noun use of L. unicornis (adj.) "having one horn," from uni- "one" (see uni-) + cornus "horn" (see horn). The Late Latin word translates Gk. monoceros, itself rendering Hebrew re'em, which was probably a kind of wild ox. According to Pliny, a creature with a horse's body, deer's head, elephant's feet, lion's tail, and one black horn two cubits long projecting from its forehead. Cf. Ger. Einhorn, Welsh ungorn, Breton uncorn, O.C.S. ino-rogu.

ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY

cancer (n.)

Old English cancer "spreading sore, cancer" (also canceradl), from Latin cancer "a crab," later, "malignant tumor," from Greek karkinos, which, like the Modern English word, has three meanings: crab, tumor, and the zodiac constellation (late 14c. in English), from PIE root *qarq- "to be hard" (like the shell of a crab); cf. Sanskrit karkatah "crab," karkarah "hard;" and perhaps cognate with PIE root *qar-tu- "hard, strong," source of English hard.

Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen, among others, noted similarity of crabs to some tumors with swollen veins. Meaning "person born under the zodiac sign of Cancer" is from 1894. The sun being in Cancer at the summer solstice, the constellation had association in Latin writers with the south and with summer heat. Cancer stick "cigarette" is from 1959.

Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance.[1] The term comes from a Greek word "dran" meaning "action" (Classical Greek: δρᾶμα, drama), which is derived from "to do" or "to act" (Classical Greek: δράω, draō).

Western drama originates in classical Greece.[11] The theatrical culture of the city-state of Athens produced three genres of drama: tragedy, comedy, and the satyr play.

WIKIPEDIA

The dram (alternative British spelling drachm; apothecary symbol ʒ; abbreviatted dr)[1][2]:C-6–C-7[3] was originally both a coin and a weight in ancient Greece.[4] It refers to a unit of mass in the avoirdupois system, and both a unit of mass and a unit of volume in the apothecaries' system.[2] The unit of volume is more correctly called a fluid dram, fluid drachm, fluidram or fluidrachm (abbreviated fl dr, ƒ 3, or fʒ)

The Attic Greek drachma was a weight of 6 obols, ¹⁄₁₀₀ Greek mina, or about 4.37 grams.[8]

• The Roman drachma was a weight of ¹⁄₉₆ Roman pounds, or about 3.41 grams.[9][10]
  

The Ottoman dirhem was based on the Sassanian drachm, which was itself based on the Roman dram/drachm.[citation needed] Modern Armenian drams, the currency of the Republic of Armenia, share this origin.[citation needed]
