Though actually不過其實，the Greek piece lexis meant "word" or "speech," not "reading"希臘文裡的 lexis 原本的意思是「字」或「說話」，不是「閱讀」；the doctor who coined the term in 1887 took it as "reading,"1887年創造這個詞的醫生把它當成「閱讀」來用，probably mixing Greek "to speak" with Latin "to read."可能是把希臘文的「說」和拉丁文的「讀」搞混了。The name stuck這個名字就這樣留了下來，and that is the word we have變成我們現在用的字。
