There are no Greek origins to the phrase 'oral tradition'. Instead, the phrase comes from the classical Latinlanguage of the ancient Romans. The adjective 'oral' comes from the adjective 'oris', which means 'of the mouth'. The noun 'tradition' comes from the verb 'tradere', which means 'to hand over'.
