- acute infectious fever, 1785, from Modern Latin (De Sauvages, 1759), from Gk. typhos "stupor caused by fever," lit. "smoke," from typhein "to smoke," related to typhos "blind," typhon "whirlwind," ultimately origin unknown. The disease so called from the prostration that it causes.
- word-forming element meaning "like, like that of, thing like a ______," from Latinized form of Gk. -oeides, from eidos "form," related to idein "to see," eidenai "to know;" lit. "to see," from PIE *weid-es-, from root *weid- "to see, to know" (see vision). The -o- is connective or a stem vowel from the previous element.

basalt=بازلت
ONLINE
ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:
- basalt (n.)
- c.1600, from L.L. basaltes, misspelling of L. basanites "very hard stone," from Gk. basanites "a species of slate used to test gold," from basanos "touchstone." Not connected with salt. Said by Pliny ["Historia," 36.58] to be an African word, perhaps Egyptian bauhan "slate." Any hard, very dark rock would do as a touchstone; the assayer compared the streak left by the alleged gold with that of real gold or baser metals. Hence Gk. basanizein "to be put to the test, examined closely, cross-examined, to be put to torture."

Claudius Ptolemy (
/ˈtɒləmi/;
Greek:
Κλαύδιος Πτολεμαῖος,
Klaudios Ptolemaios; Latin:
Claudius Ptolemaeus; AD 90 – AD
168) was a Greek-Roman
citizen of Egypt
who wrote in Greek.[1]
He was a mathematician,
astronomer,
geographer,
astrologer, and
poet of a single epigram in the Greek
Anthology.[2][3]
He lived in Egypt
under Roman
rule, and is believed to have been born in the town of Ptolemais
Hermiou in the Thebaid.
This theory, proposed by Theodore
Meliteniotes, could be correct, but it is late (ca. 1360) and
unsupported.[4]
There is no reason to suppose that he ever lived anywhere else than
Alexandria,[4]
where he died around AD 168.[5]
