Etymology
χλαμύς (khlamús) + -ίδιον (-ídion)
-ίδιον should be created also, not here of course
-idion is an ancient greek suffix, also used in english medical terms
- Nope. According to the rules by which taxonomic names are formed, family names are derived in Latin from the name of the type genus (in this case, Chlamydia) + the customary suffix denoting a family. For plants, that's -aceae. As for Chlamydia, it's derived from Ancient Greek χλαμύδιον (khlamúdion), which is, indeed, derived from χλαμύς (khlamús) and the Ancient Greek diminutive suffix -ίδιον (-ídion). As usual, you've taken a couple of genuine facts, glossed over a whole lot of missing details, and jumbled it all together with some bad guesses to come up with something that's simply wrong.
