Basilisk=البازيليسق
حيوان زاحف خرافي
WIKIPEDIA
In European
bestiaries and
legends, a basilisk
(English pronunciation: /ˈbæzɪlɪsk/,[1]
from the Greek
βασιλίσκος basilískos, "little king;"
Latin Regulus) is a legendary
reptile reputed to
be king of serpents
and said to have the power to cause death
with a single glance. According to the Naturalis
Historia of Pliny
the Elder, the basilisk of Cyrene
is a small snake, "being not more than twelve fingers in
length,"[2]
that is so venomous
that it leaves a wide trail of deadly venom in its wake, and its gaze
is likewise lethal;

ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:
- c.1300, from Latin basiliscus, from Greek basiliskos "little king," dim. of basileus "king" (see Basil); said by Pliny to have been so called because of a crest or spot on its head resembling a crown.
The basilisk has since the fourteenth century been confused with the Cockatrice, and the subject is now a complicated one. [T.H. White, "The Bestiary. A Book of Beasts," 1954]
- Its breath and glance were said to be fatal. The South American lizard so called (1813) because it, like the mythical beast, has a crest. Also used of a type of large cannon, throwing shot of 200 lb., from 1540s.

- aromatic shrubby plant, early 15c., from Old French basile (15c., Modern French basilic), from Medieval Latin basilicum, from Greek basilikon (phyton) "royal (plant)," from basileus "king" (see Basil). So called, probably, because it was believed to have been used in making royal perfumes.

ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:
- adjective suffix, "having to do with, having the nature of, being, made of, caused by, similar to" (in chemistry, indicating a higher valence than names in -ous), from French -ique and directly from Latin -icus, which in many cases represents Greek -ikos "in the manner of; pertaining to." From PIE *-(i)ko, which also yielded Slavic -isku, adjectival suffix indicating origin, the source of the -sky (Russian -skii) in many surnames.

Originally defined as a neurotic condition peculiar to women and thought to be caused by a dysfunction of the uterus.

Lavoisier (1743-1794), from Gk. oxys "sharp, acid" (see
acrid)
+ Fr. -gène "something that produces" (from Gk. -genes
"formation, creation;" see -gen).
Intended to mean "acidifying (principle)," it was a Greeking of Fr. principe acidifiant. So called because oxygen was then considered essential in the formation of acids (it is now known not to be). The element was isolated by Priestley (1774), who, using the old model of chemistry, called it dephlogisticated air. The downfall of the phlogiston theory required a new name, which Lavoisier provided.
