Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'αποστολή' meaning 'mission' originates from the Ancient Greek word 'ἀποστολή' (apostolē), which referred to a sending away or dispatching. This term is derived from the verb 'ἀποστέλλω' (apostellō), meaning 'to send off' or 'dispatch'. The prefix 'ἀπο-' (apo-) means 'away from', and 'στέλλω' (stellō) means 'to send'.
