"The universal language of medicine generally consists of terms derived from Greek and to a lesser extent Latin. Because of the technical and complex terms doctors and scientists use, they are sometimes said to "speak Greek" when they are not always understood; in a real sense they are speaking Greek, since the vast majority of word used in the medical profession are Greek.
