Explanation

Binomial nomenclature is the system of providing organism with appropriate and distinct names consisting of two words, first generic and second specific. The original names were taken from Latin and Greek languages. New names are now derived either from Latin language or are latinised. This is because Latin language is dead and therefore, it will not change in form or spelling with passage of time.
