Contents: **Botria** is a fairly common word from different fields of knowledge. Previously, the word was used to mean a small cut, but now it means **many tiny holes**, invisible to the naked eye. The word comes from the Greek "botrion", meaning *"small hole"*.
History *The word "bothria"* comes from the word "bozein". In ancient times they were used to indicate a small hole that occurred when making fabric. For example, if the fabric canvas was too thick, a hole or hole could appear in it. Often this happened due to problems with raw materials, when the machine tore and a very small hole was formed. They usually tried to repair such holes, since they can sometimes let air or water through. Many world names are known with this term. For example, the famous singer Fyodor Vasiliev used the Greek words “botarii” in his song, which became his unique feature and name. People probably don’t even realize how connected their lives are to these small holes! There are many cases in history when words changed their meanings. One of the most striking examples is the replacement of the term 'cheetah' (which we also find in modern dictionaries) with 'panther'. At the same time, the meaning of the word did not change, it was simply decided to replace the word to allow the development of a new breed of animals. In the meantime, we have this term and we can find interesting facts about it.
Term However, there is no such situation where a new word is taken as the basis of an old one.
