Karat, carat (W2)
Die Gewichtseinheit für Edelsteine "Karat", engl. "carat" (= 200mg), geht über frz., ital. "carato", arab. "qirat" zurück auf griech. "keration" = "Frucht des Johannisbrotbaums", engl. "fruit of the carob". Dieses ist ein kleines "keras" = "Horn", das die längliche Samenhülse bezeichnete. Die Samenkörner werden heute nicht mehr zum Wiegen von Gold benutzt, aber ihr Name hat überlebt.

§ 5. -- Grec
(E1)(L1) http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/epc/langueXIX/dg/08_t1-2.htm
Das zweite Kapitel des "Dictionnaire général (1890-1900)" enthält eine 93 Seiten lange Liste von nicht-lateinischen französischen Fremdwörtern.
Darin werden Begriffe gelistet, die aus anderen Sprachen in die französische Sprache eingegangen sind. Viele dieser Begriffe sind auch ins Deutsche oder Englische aufgenommen worden. (Dabei kann die Schreibweise in den Empfängersprachen durchaus variieren.)
Ich habe die entsprechenden Abschnitte und die zugehörigen Kommentare des Anhangs als "Ismen" den jeweiligen Herkunftsländern / -kontinenten zugeordnet.
§ 5. -- Grec.
Le latin a beaucoup emprunté au grec. Longtemps avant l'ère chrétienne, les relations commerciales ou politiques introduisirent dans la langue latine un certain nombre de mots grecs qui s'y incorporèrent rapidement. Plus tard, la culture littéraire en fit naturaliser un bien plus grand nombre. Enfin le christianisme, à son tour, versa dans le vocabulaire de nouveaux termes religieux. Assurément beaucoup des mots venus du grec restèrent en quelque sorte à la surface de la langue latine, sans pénétrer jusqu'à la couche populaire. Toutefois le nombre de ceux qui furent incorporés au latin vulgaire est assez considérable. On en pourra juger par la liste suivante, où nous avons réuni à peu près tous les mots grecs qui se retrouvent dans le français actuel et qui, transmis par le latin, ont régulièrement passé par toutes les phases de la formation populaire (34):

Le français connaît encore d'autres mots, que l'on ne peut rattacher à la formation savante proprement dite, pour lesquels l'origine grecque est manifeste. Mais, comparés à ceux que nous venons de passer en revue, ils se trahissent comme des emprunts postérieurs faits par la langue commune à la langue des savants. Nous nous bornerons à citer :
- adragant, tragantum, .
- albâtre, alabastrum, .
- ange, angelus, .
- apôtre, apostolus, .
- autruche, avis struthio, .
- ciboire,ciborium, .
- cimetière, coemeterium, .
- coffre, cophinus, .
- datte, dactylus, .

Quelques mots grecs paraissent avoir passé en français, non par les livres et par l'intermédiaire du latin, mais directement, par suite des relations commerciales entretenues par notre pays avec Constantinople, surtout depuis Charlemagne et pendant les croisades. Dans ce cas, il est vrai, c'est souvent l'italien, le provençal et même d'autres langues étrangères qui leur ont servi de véhicule. Nous citerons :
aspre (monnaie) | avanie | besant | boutique | braquemart | caloyer | céleri | chaland | chiourme | civette | drogman | émeri | endive | étrope | falot (lanterne) | fanal | galée | galère | ganache | golfe | gouffre | mandille | moustache | nocher | page (subst. masc.) | police (contrat) | riz | prame (36) | timbre | trucheman | velanède.
Enfin mentionnons quelques mots empruntés au grec moderne à la suite des événements mémorables qui ont amené la création du royaume de Grèce, comme clephte, palikare, philhellène et romaïque, que l'Académie française a admis dans son Dictionnaire.
Notes
- 34. En raison de la parenté originaire du latin et du grec, il est souvent difficile de distinguer les mots que le latin a empruntés du grec de ceux qui lui appartiennent héréditairement. Par exemple, certains philologues considèrent les mots latins aranea, gubernare, calamus, etc., comme empruntés des mots grecs (gr= arakhnê), (gr= kubernan), (gr= kalamos), etc. D'autres les croient indigènes. Nous laissons intentionnellement de côté tous les mots qui prêtent à discussion, ainsi que ceux qui, pour avoir été incorporés au latin très anciennement, présentent des formes qui ne sont pas exactement le calque des formes GRques, comme anchora (gr= agkura), argilla (gr= argillos), atriplex (gr= atraphaxis), balneum (gr= balaneion), cera (gr= kêros), cotoneum (gr= kudônion), etc., etc. Il est bon de rappeler qu'il ne s'agit ici que de la formation populaire, et que les mots si nombreux que le français a tirés directement du GR par formation savante seront étudiés au § 277.
- 35. Bouée est une mauvaise orthographe pour boie, comme l'a montré récemment M. Tobler (Sitzungsberichte der Acad. der Wissensch. zu Berlin, 1896, p. 862).

List of English words of Greek origin
(E?)(L?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Greek_origin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Until the 16th century, the few Greek words that were absorbed into English came through their Latin derivations. Most of the early borrowings are for expressions in theology for which there were no English equivalents. In the late 16th century an influx of Greek words were derived directly, in intellectual fields and the new science. This is a list of some English language words of Greek language origin. Greek words make up some 10% of the English language, so this list is necessarily incomplete.

Kurzbeschreibung
"Philipp" - der "Pferdefreund"? "Pumpernickel" - ein Wort griechischen Ursprungs? Das "Gymnasium" - eine "Nacktanstalt"? Sie haben richtig gelesen: Ein "gymnásion" ist ursprünglich der Sportplatz, auf dem die jungen Männer nackt ("gýmnos") trainierten. "Gymnastik" und Sportkleidung vertragen sich deshalb zumindest etymologisch nicht. Wir sprechen wie die alten Griechen, meist ohne es zu wissen. Oder wer hätte gedacht, dass sich hinter der scheinbar urbayrischen "Semmel" das griechische "semidalis", "feines Mehl", verbirgt? Unterhaltsam und außerordentlich kenntnisreich spürt Karl-Wilhelm Weeber griechische Lehnwörter und Bezüge in der deutschen Sprache auf. Seine Entdeckungen reichen von Namen und Mythen bis zum Motivationsgeheimnis des griechischen Fußball-Europameisters 2004. Ob Politik, Philosophie, Psychologie oder Medizin - eine Fülle von Begriffen in unterschiedlichsten Bereichen ist griechischen Ursprungs. So verdanken wir "Psychosen", "Koliken" und "Paranoia" - zumindest vom Wort her - den Griechen. Weeber geht den griechischen Wurzeln im Deutschen auf den Grund und unternimmt nebenbei viele aufschlussreiche Ausflüge in die Kultur der alten Griechen.
