Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'βόμβα' meaning 'bomb' is derived from the Ancient Greek 'βόμβος' (bómbos), which referred to a deep, hollow sound or a buzzing noise. This word was used to describe the sound of a buzzing insect or a resonant noise, which later came to be associated with explosive devices due to their loud noise.
