pulmonary

• adj.肺のような; 肺のような

ラテン語のpulmo（肺）から、ギリシャ語のpleumon（肺）から、PIE*pleu（流れる、漂う）から、語源は流れ、肺炎と同じ。肺は軽く、心臓、臓器、腎臓など他の臓器は沈むが、肺は水に浮くことができるというのが語源的な進化であろう。肺を比較せよ。

pulmonary

pulmonary: [18] Latin pulmō meant ‘lung’ (it was related to Greek pleúmōn ‘lung’, ultimate source of English pneumonia). From it was formed the adjective pulmōnārius, which English adopted at the beginning of the 18th century as pulmonary.

pulmonary (adj.)

1704, from French pulmonaire and directly from Latin pulmonarius "of the lungs," from pulmo (genitive pulmonis) "lung," cognate with Greek pleumon "lung," Old Church Slavonic plusta, Lithuanian plauciai "lungs," all from PIE *pleu- "to flow, to float, to swim" (see pluvial).

The notion perhaps is from the fact that, when thrown into a pot of water, lungs of a slaughtered animal float, while the heart, liver, etc., do not (compare Middle English lights "the lungs," literally "the light (in weight) organs"). Also see pneumo-.
