Where it comes from
Borrowed from French bathyscaphe. Analyzable as bathy- + Ancient Greek σκάφη (skáphē, “little boat, skiff”).
noun bathyscaphes · bathyscaph
- A self-propelled deep-sea diving submersible for exploring the ocean depths, consisting of a crew cabin similar to a bathysphere suspended below a float filled with a buoyant liquid such as petrol. The fact that the bathyscaphes are self-propelled makes it possible to use them to study the ocean microstructure in the horizontal, although the experiment should include temporal changes, which can be achieved either by using associated buoy stations or using a second suspended bathyscaphe.
