Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'έρευνα' meaning 'research' is derived from the Ancient Greek word 'ἔρευνα' (éreuna), which also means 'search' or 'investigation'. This term is related to the verb 'ἐρευνάω' (ereunáō), meaning 'to search' or 'to examine'. The word has maintained its core meaning of investigation and inquiry from Ancient Greek to Modern Greek.
