The word microphone made up from two Greek words, mikros "small" + phone "sound".
Apparently the word first appeared in a dictionary in 1683 and referred to "an instrument by which small sounds are intensified".
Obviously electrical microphones for radio transmission and sound recording had not yet been invented at that time, so a 'microphone' at that time meant a hearing device such as an ear Trumpet or a megaphone, both of which were used to amplify sound.

It was only later that the word 'microphone' was used to describe the mouthpiece used for electrical/radio transmissions and sound recordings.
