Since western science and medicine originate from ancient Greece, many scientific and formal medical words are Greek.

Many words in the English language are of Latin origin. There were two sources for this influence. One was the use of Latin by the educated elites and by the church. The other was the Norman invasion of England. The Normans were French and French became the language of the aristocracy. French is a Romance language; that is, a language derived from Latin. Many formal medical words and legal terms are Latin.
