Etymology
Ανάκριση is a deverbal noun from ανακρίνω, built from the prefix ανά- (up, thoroughly) and κρίνω (to judge, sift, decide). The verb originally meant to examine or sift through carefully, and it narrowed over time into the legal sense of formal questioning. The noun keeps that legal and procedural weight in Modern Greek.
