I asked a few language scholars the summary is:
"Ancient Greek had a very extensive vocabulary. It was also very precise. English however has blended Latin, Greek, Germanic and many other languages. Our language is gigantic and over the past 50 years especially, we have created thousands of words for technological and other purposes.
Since English blends these three roots we see double meanings for nearly everything (chair, and seat).
Ancient Greek gave many words to english though.
