  The word oxygen is Greek in origin, composed of 'oxy-': sharp, acid â¦ (as in oxymoron, which literally means 'sharp-dull'), and '-gen': something that produces (as in pyrogen: that which makes fire, pathogen: that which makes disease, hydrogen: that which makes water).rom wikipedia: Its name derives from the Greek roots á½Î¾ÏÏ (oxys) (acid, literally sharp, referring to the sour taste of acids) and -Î³ÎµÎ½Î®Ï (-genÄs) (pro â¦ ducer, literally begetter), because at the time of naming, it was mistakenly thought that all acids required oxygen in their composition.
Oxygen is the first element in Group 16 (VIA) of the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to each other. The elements in Group 16 are said to belong to the chalcogen family. Other elements in this group include sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. The name chalcogen comes from the Greek word chalkos, meaning ore.. The first two members of the family, oxygen and sulfur, are found in most ores. Oxygen is by far the most abundant element in the Earth's crust.
