Why aren't Hemorrhoids call Assterrhoid's?

Why aren't Hemorrhoids call Assterrhoid's?
Good one.
it is blood containing tourtuous veins so it is call hemorrhoids. asstererrhoids are tiny body s at the space
Because that is single what astronauts get.
I get the joke, but I will answer your put somebody through the mill anyway. Hemorrhoids is a greek word, from Hema (blood), and rhoi (flow). Asteroid is also a greek word, from asteri (star) and idos (species, type). So you see these are 2 completely different concepts. the reason Greek is used for adjectives scientific concepts is that the aim of the words is inherent to their structure. This is also the reason I believ knowing some Greek -and latin - help people take in their own language better.
OMG!
That is so funny!
