Now that we’ve figured out the ancient Greek meaning of pneumon we can stick it together with peri to get peripheumon their word for a lung problem.

现在，我们总算弄明白古希腊语单词pneumon的意思了。 接着，我们就可以把它与前缀peri组合到一起，得到单词peripheumon——古希腊人用它来指称肺部病症。

This seems to have gotten mixed up with another Indo-European word pneu meaning "to breathe" and eventually to have made it to Greek as pneumon meaning "lungs."

它看上去像是被人与另一个意为“呼吸”(to breathe)的印欧语系单词pneu混到了一起，并且后来变成了意为“肺”(lungs)的希腊语单词pneumon。
