NORMAL
Normal comes from the Latin normalis (in conformity with rule) from norma (rule, pattern, lit. “carpenter’s square”), which derives (via Etruscan) from the Greek γνώμων (gnomon; rule, “carpenter’s square.”).
From the same root: norm, normality.
In modern Greek
a) γνώμων: rule, motto, goniometer, protractor [gnomon].
Το normal (φυσιολογικό, σύμφωνος με το νόμο) προέρχεται από το Λατινικό normalis από το norma (κανόνας, γνώμων), το οποίο προέρχεται (μεσω της γλώσσας των Ετρούσκων) από το Ελληνικό γνώμων.

TAXONOMY
Etymology of taxonomy
It derives from the French taxonomie coined from the Greek words taxis (τάξις; order, arrangement) + -nomia (method) from -nomos (νόμος; managing, law) from nemein (manage, distribute, put in order).
In modern Greek
a) τάξις: order [taxis]
b) νόμος: law [nomos]
Το taxonomy (ταξινόμηση) προέρχεται από τις λέξεις τάξις και νόμος
taxis + nomos –> taxonomy.
