Etymology
βραδινός is built from the noun βράδυ, evening, plus the adjective-forming suffix -ινός, meaning of or belonging to. βράδυ itself comes from the ancient Greek adjective βραδύς, slow, since evening was understood as the late, slow part of the day. The word is native Greek, with no foreign borrowing involved.
