Memorial Day is an American holiday that honors the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who have died at war. Memorial Day began after the Civil War. It was called Decoration Day, because people decorated soldiers' graves with flowers. Memorial Day is celebrated annually on the last Monday in May.
In the United States, people who travel into space are called astronauts. The word astronaut comes from the Greek words for "star" (astro) and "sailor" (naut). Latin and Greek are very old languages. Many scholarly works were written in Latin or Greek. And over time Latin and Greek words were assimilated, or absorbed, into other languages, such as English.
