Does anyone know why the word appeared in English as 'oenophilia' when the Greek word is 'philoinia'? —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatur--70.110.182.95 (talk) 19:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)!!!!!!!!I HATE MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!es|unsigned]] comment added by 67.162.108.48 (talk) 13:54, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Would that be Modern Greek or Classical Greek? The Oeno- part usually comes first in most common constructions I know: oenology, oenophile, Enotria (Latinized from Oenotria). Tomas e (talk) 20:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
