Origin

Middle English: from Old French occean, via Latin from Greek ōkeanos 'great stream encircling the earth's disc'. ‘The ocean’ originally denoted the whole body of water regarded as encompassing the earth's single land mass.

The first mention of ocean in English looks back to the classical world. The ancient Greeks believed the world was surrounded by a great river, which they called okeanos. Ocean originally described the body of water (‘the Great Outer Sea’ as contrasted with the Mediterranean and other inland seas) regarded as enclosing the earth's single land mass, that of Europe and Asia, which at the time was the only land known. The Mediterranean is the sea ‘in the middle of the earth’ or ‘enclosed by land’, from Latin medius ‘middle’ and terra ‘land’. See also atlas, peace
