Yeah, just like the word biblical. In English, the spelling of a word typically reveals more about its etymology than its pronunciation anyways.
Can't help now but think of the bible as the 'book of books'.
Well, originally it was just called "the books", and the Greek word for "the books" became the name of the whole collection of books throughout Europe.

Actually, my username (pronounced own-EYE-run-ought) is also Greek in origin. It comes from the root oneiro, which means "dream", and nautês, which means "explorer". It has nothing to do with the numeral one or the element iron.
