Abstract
In articles mentioning the term archipelago, the defi nition of an archipelago as a collection or group of islands is often given. The term archipelago originates from the Greek word arhi-, meaning main, great, primary, and the root pélagos, meaning sea, high sea, open water. Considering this, an archipelago is not a “group of islands” but rather a “great sea”, which was the oldest name for the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, the term islands should be used to describe a group of islands, and not the term archipelago.
