Etymology
Γύρισμα is formed from the verb γυρίζω, meaning to turn or to go around. The verb itself comes from γύρος, an ancient Greek word for circle or ring. The suffix -ισμα, common in Greek, turns a verb into a noun naming the result or instance of the action: a turning, a turn, a piece of filming.
