Many scientific words do come from Latin or Greek. Over time, when new words are needed for new things, people create new Latin words that the Romans never used. Scientists also come up with new Greek words such as "drosophilia," the scientific name for fruit fly. "Droso" means dew, and "philia" means loving.
The most of the scientific words, yes it is true, come from Greek or Latin language.
For example:
Biology (greek)
pneumonia (greek)
oesophagus (greek)
gastroenteritis (greek)
epinephritis (greek)
astronomy (greek)
galaxy (greek)
heliocentric (greek)
planet (greek)
supernova (latin)
stellar (latin)
nebula (latin)
Science comes from the Latin scientia which means "knowledge".
English is a language with many sources, primarily anglo-saxon roots. However many English words are derived from both Latin and Greek origins. This is especially true of scientific words
The beginning root of the word dictionary (the root being dict-) means to say or speak. Originally the root of the word is Latin.
like chemical elements even everyone`s name, too.using the latin rot words to name for a tradition.
YES true

The scientific name is often referred to as the Latin name. The scientific name for the sloth bear is Melursis ursinis. However, a scientific name may be a mixture of Latin and Greek.

The scientific classification of organisms is done using Latin. Binomial nomenclature, a naming system that uses two names to denote each species, was introduced by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century and is still used today in biological classification.
"Pseudo" in Greek means false or fake. It is often used to indicate something that is not genuine or authentic.
The prefix "pseudes" comes from Greek and means "false" or "lying." It is often used in scientific terms to indicate something that is deceptive or not genuine.
They're different languages.
In general, Latin was the language used in science, not just in math. At least, to give names to things, Latin (as well as Greek) was often used.In general, Latin was the language used in science, not just in math.

Mostly Latin and some Greek
A prefix is a group of letters that is added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning. It is commonly used in the English language to create new words by attaching it to base words. For example, "un-" is a prefix that can be added to the word "happy" to form "unhappy."
Greek has contributed to English in several ways, including direct borrowings from Greek and indirectly through other languages (mainly Latin or French). In a typical 80,000-word English dictionary, about 5% of the words are directly borrowed from Greek; this is about equivalent to the vocabulary of an educated speaker of English (for example, "phenomenon" is a Greek word and even obeys Greek grammar rules as the plural is "phenomena"). However, around 25% are borrowed indirectly. This is because there were many Greek words borrowed in Latin originally, which then filtered down into English because English borrowed so many words from Latin (for example, "elaiwa" in Greek evolved into the Latin "oliva", which in turn became "olive" in English). Greek is often used in coining very specialized technical or scientific words, however, so the percentage of words borrowed from Greek rises much higher when considering highly scientific vocabulary (for example, "oxytetracycline" is a medical term that has several Greek roots).
