[B-Greek] Root for Zodiakos

I read the following and would like to know if this conclusion is correct.

The word zodiac comes from the Greek zodiakos meaning a circle.  It 
comes from the primitive root zoad, meaning a path or way or going by 
steps. In this connection, it is used to denote the way along which the 
sun appears to move through the stars in the course of the 12 months.

Thanks in advance,
