Etimologie (Engels)

From French sarcophage, from Latin sarcophagus, from Ancient Greek σαρκοφάγος (sarkophágos, “coffin of limestone”, noun), so named from a supposed property of consuming the flesh of corpses laid in it, from σαρκοφάγος (sarkophágos, “flesh-eating, carnivorous”), from genitive σαρκός (sarkós) of σάρξ (sárx, “flesh, meat”) + -φάγος (-phágos) (from ἔφαγον (éphagon), past of φαγεῖν (phageîn, “to eat”)).
