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.
