Etymology
δάσκαλος comes from ancient διδάσκαλος, the agent noun of διδάσκω, meaning to teach. Over time the reduplicated syllable at the front wore away, turning διδάσκαλος into the modern δάσκαλος. The underlying verb διδάσκω is a reduplicated present-tense formation built on a root meaning to teach or impart skill.
