different between syllabus vs tableofcontents

syllabus

English

Etymology

Borrowed from Medieval Latin syllabus (list), which arose as a misprint, its accusative plural syllabos appearing in place of sittybas in a 1470s edition of Cicero's “Ad Atticum” IV.5 and 8. The corrupt form was influenced by the stem of Ancient Greek ?????????? (sullambán?, put together), the source of ??????? (sullab?, syllable); the true etymon is ??????? (sittúba, parchment label, table of contents) of unknown origin.
