Crocodiles Design Green Stone Gold Jewellery Necklace.
In the Koine Greek of Roman times, crocodilos and crocodeilos would have been pronounced identically, and either or both may be the source of the Latinized form crocodīlus used by the ancient Romans. Crocodilos or crocodeilos is a compound of krokè ("pebbles"), and drilos/dreilos ("worm"), although drilos is only attested as a colloquial term for "penis. It is ascribed to Herodotus, and supposedly describes the basking habits of the Egyptian crocodile.
