You don't need to become fluent in Greek and Latin, but if you want to be able to read your patent's diagnosis, you're absolutely going to need to know the terms used. The standard names are in those languages.

And frequently, there is no other name. There are a lot of diseases, and no language has names for all of them.

Sure, you can also look them up though, because it is a limited vocabulary.

Identifiers in code are not a limited vocabulary, and understanding the structure of your code is important, especially so when you are in the early stages of learning.
