 WORD HISTORY: 
Oyster-This word is related to the first part of "osteoporosis." It goes back to Indo European "oest," which had the notion, "hardened substance;" thus, "bone, stone." This gave Ancient Greek the transliterated "ostéon," meaning "bone," which produced "óstreon," meaning, "oyster." This was borrowed by Latin as "ostrea," which passed to Old French, a Latin-based language, as "oistre." In the meantime, Old English had "ostre," borrowed from Latin "ostrea." The Normans brought the French form to England, which reinforced, but by the 1300s, altered the English form to "oyster."
