Question: what is the meaning of kosmos in greek
Answer: The philosopher Pythagoras used the term cosmos ( Ancient Greek : κόσμος ) for the order of the universe , but the term was not part of modern language until the 19th century geographer and polymath , Alexander von Humboldt , resurrected the use of the word from the ancient Greek , assigned it to his multi-volume treatise , Kosmos , which influenced modern and somewhat holistic perception of the universe as one interacting entity .
