Etymology:
Pathos, which derives directly from the Greek word for "suffering," is the quality or power in any of the arts to evoke feelings of tender pity, compassion, or sadness, and gives us pathetic characters in literature such as Ophelia in Hamlet or even Dickens's Little Nell. Bathos means something quite different and was coined by Alexander Pope from the Greek word bathos, "depth" (not related to our English word bath), to indicate a descent from the sublime to the depths of the ridiculous. Pope and other writers of the early 18th century, including Swift, Gay, and Arbuthnot, made a sport of parodying contemporary writers. Out of this game of wits came Pope's satire "Bathos, the art of sinking in Poetry" (1727), in which he invented the word because no similar one existed in English to express the idea. "The taste of the Bathos is implanted by Nature itself in the soul of man," he wrote in his essay, and he proceeded to give an example of bathos at its worst:

And thou, Dalhousie, the great god of war,
Lieutenant-general to the earl of Mar.

bathukopian. A rare, rather elegant way to say "big breasted" or "deep bosomed," bathukopian is first recorded in 1825. Coined apparently as a euphemism, the word comes from the Greek for "deep" and "breast."

bathysiderodromophobia. There are many people afraid of subways, but few who call themselves bathysiderodrmnophobes, people who fear subways and other things underground. A 20th-century coinage, the word is based upon the Greek bathys, "deep."

bathysphere. This reinforced spherical deep-sea chamber in which people are lowered by a cable to study the ocean and marine life was invented and named by American scientist and author William Beebee in 1930. Dr. Beebee later described the coinage exactly: "As the great chamber took shape, we found the need of a definite name. We spoke of it casually and quite incorrectly as tank and cylinder and bell. One day, when I was writing the name of a deep-sea fish—Bathytroctes— the appropriateness of the Greek prefix occurred to me;
I coined the word Bathysphere, and the name has stuck." The Greek prefix bathy is so appropriate because it means "deep"; sphere, also from the Greek, is self-explanatory.
