The meaning of the word dinosaur is comprised of the Greek “deinos”, which means “fearfully great” or “terrible”, and “sauros”, which means “a lizzard”. Thus the meaning of dinosaur is “fearfully great lizzard”. “Dinosaur” is a relatively new word coined in 1841 by Sir Richard Owen, to identify the fossils of extinct reptiles, which is why you don’t see the word in use before 1841.
