The Greek language has contributed to the English lexicon in five main ways: * vernacular borrowings, transmitted orally through Vulgar Latin directly into Old English, e.g., 'butter' (butere, from Latin butyrum < βούτυρον), or through French, e.g., 'ochre'; * learned borrowings from classical Greek texts, often via Latin, e.g., 'physics' (< Latin physica < τὰ φυσικά); * a few borrowings transmitted through other languages, notably Arabic scientific and philosophical writing, e.g., 'alchemy' (< χημεία); * direct borrowings from Modern Greek, e.g., 'ouzo' (ούζο); * neologisms (coinages) in post-classical Latin or modern languages using classical Greek roots, e.g., 'telephone' (< τῆλε + φωνή) or a mixture of Greek and other roots, e.g., 'television' (< Greek τῆλε + English vision < Lati

rdfs:label	Liste von Gräzismen (de) English words of Greek origin (en)
rdfs:comment	Dies ist eine Liste von dem Griechischen entlehnten deutschen Wörtern (Gräzismen). Vollständigkeit wird nicht angestrebt, der Anspruch wäre auch unrealistisch: Die deutsche Sprache hat so viele Lehn- und Fremdwörter aus dem Griechischen übernommen – zumeist der altgriechischen Sprache –, dass es unmöglich ist, eine auch nur halbwegs vollständige Liste anzufertigen. Die Entwicklung von Gräzismen folgt dem Sprachwandelgesetz der Quantitativen Linguistik, dem sog. Piotrowski-Gesetz. Viele weitere Wörter findet man in der sehr ausführlichen Liste griechischer Wortstämme in deutschen Fremdwörtern.
