geography. Ge, the Greek word for earth, is the basis for many words, including geography, geology, geometry, geocentric, geodetic, and even Gaea, the Greek goddess of the earth, who sprang from primordial Chaos, produced Uranus, and then married him and was the mother of Cronus, the Titans, the Cy- clopes, and the Hundred-headed Giants, who gave us such words as chronology and titanic. |
