Question

What does the word amphibian come from? like amphi comes from the word ** and Brian comes from the word **

Answer 1

The word amphibian is a Greek word. It is the combination of the world “amphi,” which means dual, or both kinds and the word “bio,” which means life.

Explanation:

The name amphibian, derived from the Greek amphibios meaning “living a double life,” reflects this dual life strategy—though some species are permanent land dwellers, while other species have a completely aquatic mode of existence. Approximately 8,100 species of living amphibians are known.
