The term of "hypothyroidism" www.hypothyroidism-treatment.com appeared in modern English relatively recently but it has been derived from the ancient Greek prefix use of " hypo", which means "under", similarly the Greek words "thyreos", means "shielding" and "eidos", means "shape or form"; therefore, the closest interpretation would be a "shield-like shape of the thyroid gland", which protects the "glottis", the throat where the vocal cords are located
