Breakdown of tradition

curiously, some greek terms have kept their meaning for 3.000 yearslatin tems like "trans" are ancient too, 2.500 maybe, and mean the same thing still as in "beyond" altho only in the past 10 years have a lot of people assumed it only means transsexualyet it's in translation, transduction, transmission, trans-national, transceiver, etc, etc, dozens of words in multiple languagestrans-word-forming element meaning "across, beyond, through, on the other side of, to go beyond," from Latin trans (prep.) "across, over, beyond," perhaps originally present participle of a verb *trare-, meaning "to cross," from PIE *tra-, variant of root *tere- (2) "cross over, pass through, overcome."
