Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'αβέβαιος' derives from the combination of the prefix 'α-' (a negation) and 'βέβαιος' (certain). The root 'βέβαιος' itself comes from the Ancient Greek 'βεβαίος', which means firm or stable, ultimately tracing back to Proto-Indo-European roots related to firmness and stability.
