Does diameter come from greek language?

Yes, the word "diameter" comes from the Greek language. It is derived from the Greek words:

* διάμετρος (diametros), meaning "measurement across" or "measure through."

This word is a combination of:

* διά (dia) meaning "through, across"

* μέτρον (metron) meaning "measure"

So, the literal meaning of "diameter" is "measure through," which accurately describes its use as a measure of the distance across a circle or sphere, passing through the center.
