I was this days old when I found that cancer means crab.

In ancient Greece, Hippocrates noticed that cancerous tumors had finger-like projections that reminded him of a crab’s legs. Because of this, he named the disease "cancer," after the Greek word for crab. This imagery also inspired the zodiac sign Cancer, which is symbolized by a crab.
