What does Bible stand for?

Answer 1

The word bible comes from the Greek biblios which simply means 'book'. The word bible is most often used to refer to the Hebrew/Greek scriptures, but it is often used informally to refer to a book that is considered essential for an understanding of a given topic or process. "Grey's work was considered the medical students' bible of anatomy for generations."

Other words from this root are bibliography, bibliolatry, and bibliophile.
