Funny, I thought the study of classical Greek was compulsory at Oxford centuries ago.  Guess Oxford is like Hawaii, only oral history until the 20th century.  In any event when did the term enter the Hawaiian language?  I'm sure that you can research that in the stacks of the Kalani Paiʻea Wohi o Kaleikini Kealiʻikui Kamehameha o ʻIolani i Kaiwikapu kauʻi Ka Liholiho Kūnuiākea Library.
