Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'απάντηση' meaning 'answer' is derived from the Ancient Greek verb 'ἀπαντάω' (apantáō), which means 'to meet' or 'to respond'. This verb is composed of the prefix 'ἀπ-' (ap-), a variant of 'ἀπό' (apó, 'from'), and the verb 'ἀντάω' (antáō), meaning 'to meet'. Over time, the meaning evolved to specifically denote a response or answer to a question.
