Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'απόδειξη' meaning 'receipt' derives from the Ancient Greek 'ἀπόδειξις' (apódeixis), which means 'proof' or 'demonstration'. This, in turn, comes from the verb 'ἀποδείκνυμι' (apodeíknumi), meaning 'to demonstrate' or 'to show'. The prefix 'ἀπό-' (apo-) means 'from' or 'away', and 'δείκνυμι' (deíknumi) means 'to show'. The word evolved to mean 'receipt' in Modern Greek as a document that demonstrates or proves a transaction.
