What does bible mean?

Answer 1

The English word “Bible” comes through the Latin from the Greek word bi·bli′a, meaning “little books,” which is derived from bi′blos (a word describing the inner part of the papyrus plant out of which a primitive form of paper was made). The Phoenician city of Gebal --famous for its papyrus papermaking-- was called by the Greeks “Byblos.” (See Jos 13:5, ftn.) Eventually, bi·bli′a came to describe various writings, scrolls, books, and eventually the collection of little books that make up the Bible. Jerome called this collection 'Bibliotheca Divina', the Divine Library.

The word 'Bible', in English, has a long history that leads back to the Nile River in Egypt. In ancient Egypt, the papyrus used to produce a cheap writing material was called biblos.

Answer 10

Bible :
a : the sacred scriptures of Christians comprising the Old Testament and the New Testament
b : the sacred scriptures of some other religion (as Judaism)

etymology
early 14c., from Anglo-L. biblia, from M.L./L.L. biblia (neuter plural interpreted as fem. sing.), in phrase biblia sacra "holy books," from Gk. ta biblia to hagia "the holy books," from biblion "paper, scroll," the ordinary word for "book," originally a dim. of byblos "Egyptian papyrus," possibly so called from the name of the Phoenician port from which Egyptian papyrus was exported to Greece. The port's name is a Gk. corruption of Phoenician Gebhal, lit. "frontier town" (cf. Heb. gebhul "frontier, boundary," Ar. jabal "mountain"). The Christian scripture was refered to in Gk. as Ta Biblia as early as c.223. Bible replaced O.E. biblioðece "the Scriptures," from Gk. bibliotheke, lit. "book-repository" (from biblion + theke "case, chest, sheath"), used of the Bible by Jerome and the common L. word for it until Biblia began to displace it 9c. Figurative sense of "any authoritative book" is from 1804.
