So the search continued. One of my favorite theories was that the abbreviation for debit was indeed the entirely logical âDe.â At least it was originally âDeâ; but due to some sloppy handwriting, the âDeâ was mistaken for a âDr.â The result was that an unclear manuscript begot a printerâs error in a published treatise.
Best Answer: Grizzly bears are so called not because they are 'grisly' --- that is, horrifying or gruesomely unpleasant --- but because of their grizzled or gray hairs. Wow good question! I never thought of that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly_bea...
For example all plants and animals have scientific names that every scientist across the world, regardless of language, can use to identify them. Grizzly bears are just grizzly bears to most English speakers, but they're called Ursus arctos by scientists. This system is biological nomenclature. In medicine, each different part has a specific name that all doctors know, so instead of calling something a foot bone, a doctor would call it a metatarsal (or something like that), a term that all doctors would understand. This is medical nomenclature. Hope that helps!
