pancreas: [16] Etymologically, pancreas means ‘all-flesh’. It is a modern Latin adaptation of Greek págkreas, a compound formed from the prefix pan- ‘all’ and kréas ‘flesh’. This was presumably an allusion to the homogeneous substance of the organ. The term sweetbread, denoting the ‘pancreas used as food’, also dates from the 16th century. The -bread element may represent Old English br?d ‘flesh’ rather than modern English bread.
