Persimmon. Names and etymology[edit] The word Diospyros comes from the ancient Greek words "Dios" (διός) and "pyros" (πυρος).

Persimmon

In context, this means more or less "divine fruit", though its literal meaning is closer to "Wheat of Zeus".[2][3] It is, however, sufficiently confusing to have given rise to some curious interpretations, such as "God's pear" and "Jove's fire". The Modern Greek name for the fruit is λωτός (lotos) which leads modern Greeks to the assumption that this is the lotos referred to in Homer's Odyssey. The word persimmon itself is derived from putchamin, pasiminan, or pessamin, from Powhatan, an Algonquian language of the eastern United States, meaning "a dry fruit".[4] Select species[edit] While there are many species of Diospyros that bear fruit inedible to humans, the following are those that bear edible fruit: Diospyros kaki (Asian persimmon, Japanese persimmon)[edit] Diospyros kaki (柿) Nanyo City, Yamagata, Japan.

Elements in the Human Body

Answer: Most of the human body is made up of water, H2O, with cells consisting of 65-90% water by weight. Therefore, it isn't surprising that most of a human body's mass is oxygen. Carbon, the basic unit for organic molecules, comes in second. 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of just six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.
