hypoxia=نقص الأكسجة


hypoxia=نقص الأكسجة
ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:
hypoxia (n.)
1941, from hypo- + oxygen. Related: Hypoxic.
hypo-
word-forming element meaning "under, beneath" (in chemistry, indicating a lesser oxidation), from hypo-, comb. form of Gk. hypo (prep. and adverb) "under," from PIE *upo- "under, up from under, over" (see sub-).
oxygen (n.)
gaseous chemical element, 1790, from Fr. oxygène, coined in 1777 by French chemist Antoine-Laurent 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.

Septuagint=الترجمة السبعينية
ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:
Septuagint (n.)
"Greek version of the Old Testament," 1633, from L.L. septuaginta interpretes "seventy interpreters," from L. septuaginta "seventy," from septem "seven" (see seven) + -ginta "tens, ten times," from PIE *dkm-ta-, from *dekm- "ten" (see ten).

Often denoted by Roman numerals, LXX. The translation is believed now to have been carried out at different times by Egyptian Jews.
WIKIPEDIA
The Septuagint ( /ˈsɛptjuːəˌdʒɪnt/), (/ˈsɛptuːəˌdʒɪnt/), (/ˌsɛpˈtuːədʒɪnt/), (/ˈsɛptʃuːəˌdʒɪnt/), (or "LXX", or "Greek Old Testament") is a translation of the Hebrew Bible and some related texts into Greek, begun in the late 3rd century BCE. The Septuagint is quoted by the New Testament[1] (particularly by St. Paul)[2] and by the Apostolic Fathers.
The traditional story is that Ptolemy II sponsored the translation for use by the many Alexandrian Jews who were not fluent in Hebrew but fluent in Koine Greek,[3] which was the lingua franca of the Eastern Mediterranean from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE until the development of Byzantine Greek around 600 CE.
