Etymology of GASTROPARASITUS
The word "gastroparasitus" is a compound word formed from two Greek roots: "gastro" and "parasitus".
1. "Gastro" (from Greek "gaster" meaning "stomach" or "belly") refers to the stomach or the digestive system. It is commonly used in modern English in words like "gastronomy" (the study of food and cooking) and "gastroenterology" (the branch of medicine that deals with the digestive system).
2. "Parasitus" (from Greek "parasitos") refers to a person or organism that lives off another organism, often harming or taking advantage of its host. In Greek, "para" means "beside" or "alongside", while "sitos" means "food" or "grain". This word has been borrowed into English in the form of "parasite".
