where does the term wisdom teeth come from
Wisdom tooth Although formally known as third molars, the common name is wisdom teeth because they appear so late â€“ much later than the other teeth, at an age where people are presumably "wiser" than as a child, when the other teeth erupt.[13] The term probably came as a translation of the Latin dens sapientiae. Their eruption has been known to cause dental issues for centuries; it was noted at least as far back as Aristotle:
Tracheotomy The etymology of the word tracheotomy comes from two Greek words: the root tom- (from Greek τομή tomḗ) meaning "to cut", and the word trachea (from Greek τραχεία tracheía).[2] The word tracheostomy, including the root stom- (from Greek στόμα stóma) meaning "mouth," refers to the making of a semi-permanent or permanent opening, and to the opening itself. Some sources offer different definitions of the above terms. Part of the ambiguity is due to the uncertainty of the intended permanence of the stoma at the time it is created.[3]
