Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'αλλαγή' meaning 'change' derives from the Ancient Greek 'ἀλλαγή' (allagē), which also means 'change' or 'exchange'. This word is formed from the verb 'ἀλλάσσω' (allassō), meaning 'to change' or 'to exchange', which itself comes from the prefix 'ἀλλο-' (allo-), meaning 'other'.
