Etymology
Δίκτυο comes from ancient Greek δίκτυον, meaning a fishing or hunting net. Beekes and other etymologists treat the word as likely Pre-Greek, meaning it entered the language from a substrate spoken before Greek arrived, so no secure Indo-European root has been established. The modern sense of a connected system, as in a computer or social network, is a 20th-century extension of the old word for a woven net.
