lol, are you just making this shit up?
There is absolutely no doubt about the fact that the modern word pornography is derived directly from a combination of the greek words pornea and graphein to make pornographos.
It was invented to describe artistic depictions of prostitutes and their customers engaged in sex. The modern word pornography not only comes from the greek, but it means exactly the same thing today as it did originally.
