different between coral vs horal
coral
English
Etymology
From Old French coral (French corail), from Latin corallium, from Ancient Greek ????????? (korállion, “coral”). Probably ultimately of Semitic origin, compare Hebrew ???????? (goral, “small pebble”), Arabic ?????? (jaral, “small stone”), originally referring to the red variety found in the Mediterranean. Since ancient times, a common folk etymology, accepted by some earlier scholars, connected the word instead to Ancient Greek ???? (kór?) (referring to Medusa). Beekes mentions both theories and considers the Semitic one convincing.
