Etymology
Βελτίωση is a noun formed from the verb βελτιώνω, meaning to make better. That verb in turn comes from βελτίων, the ancient Greek comparative of ἀγαθός, good. Greek grammar builds this comparative on a separate stem rather than adding a simple suffix to ἀγαθός, a pattern called suppletion, similar to English good and better. The ending -ωση marks the noun as the result or process of an action.
