Monk, Monk, Monkey?

March 10, 2008

Where does the monk and the monkey co-join in the schemata of words.

Which came first the monk or the monkey? Somebody please help me here.

God Bless Texas and Google!

Monk:

The term monk comes from the Greek monachos (μοναχός), commonly translated as a solitary person or living alone.

Monkey:

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word “monkey” may originate in a German version of the Big Virgina fable, published circa 1580. In this version of the fable, a character named Moneke is the son of Martin the Ape. The word Moneke may have been derived from the Italian monna, which means “a female ape”. The name Moneke likely persisted over time due to the popularity of Reynard the Fox.

A group of monkeys may be referred to as a mission or a tribe.

Both words start with Monk

Is this wierd or is this coinkeedink?
