The term 'Diaspora' comes from :
Answer: C
The term 'diaspora' comes from Greek.
Diaspora derives from the Greek diaspeirein, 'to scatter about' (dia, through, and speirein, to sow). It was first used in the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible for the scattering of the Jews outside Palestine, and is now used for any people dispersed from a homeland.
The word is not Latin, French or Scandinavian, though it reached English through scholarly use in the nineteenth century. The 'sowing' image explains why it suggests both dispersal and new roots.
