“Because there's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away.”

Language arts lesson
Many of the words in our language come from Greek and Latin. For example, the word bathysphere comes from the Greek words bathos meanig depth and sphaira meaning sphere. The work submarine comes from the Latin words sub meanig under and marine meaning sea.
The words bathysphere and submarine did not exist until after those vehicles were invented and the inventors used the Greek and Latin word roots to create the new names.
