This word comes from the Greek, thalassa (sea), to the French thalassique, and finally into English, thalassic, in the mid-19th century.

In Greek mythology, Thalassa is a Greek Goddess and a personification of the sea.   

Roman Mythology uses the name Mare as another name for Thalassa.   With her male counter part, Pontus,  she spawns the species of fish.
