Etymology
The word comes from ancient Greek ἀναχώρησις, a noun built from the verb ἀναχωρέω, meaning to withdraw or go back. That verb combines the prefix ἀνά, meaning back or up, with χωρέω, meaning to make room or move away, itself tied to χώρος, meaning space or place. Modern Greek kept the noun with its core sense of leaving a place.
