Abyss - Abysmal

Postby dreams » Thu Jan 08, 2004 5:07 pm

Meaning: Bottomless watery depth

from L.L. abyssus, from Gk. abyssos "bottomless," from a- "without" (see a- (2)) + byssos "bottom," possibly related to bathos "depth." Abyssal is first recorded 1691, used especially of the zone of ocean water below 300 fathoms.

New International Version - From the Greek
