I was curious how all these words broke down:
hippo = horse
potamus = river
campus = field
kampos = sea monster
So the "campus" parts are unrelated. The hippocampus part of the brain is named after the sea monster it supposedly resembles.
That's even weirder, all things considered.
Y'all, my horse sea monster is acting up, can you tell me your name again?
Next thing you'll be telling me the amygdala isn't named after Amy D and her amazing horror Gala.
Huh, it does kinda look like a sea monster!
Me a Greek mythology nerd imagining a horse with a fish tail surfing a wave.
Never once had this thought. But it's all I will be thinking about when I encounter this word
rip to the horse the hippo is riding
