Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'αλλού' meaning 'elsewhere' derives from the Ancient Greek 'ἄλλοθι' (állothi), which also meant 'elsewhere'. This word is formed from 'ἄλλος' (állos), meaning 'other', combined with a locative suffix. The evolution of the word reflects a common pattern in Greek where locative adverbs are derived from adjectives indicating 'otherness'.
