Etymology
βραδιά is a feminine noun built on the neuter βράδυ ('evening') with the productive suffix -ιά, which forms nouns denoting a stretch or occasion of time. βράδυ itself is usually traced to the ancient adjective βραδύς ('slow, late'), via a semantic shift from 'lateness' to 'the late part of the day.' The deeper origin of βραδύς is uncertain and is often regarded as Pre-Greek, so no secure PIE root can be assigned.
