Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'διαμέρισμα' meaning 'apartment' comes from the Greek verb 'διαμερίζω' meaning 'to divide' or 'to partition'. This verb is composed of the prefix 'δια-' meaning 'through' or 'across' and the verb 'μερίζω' meaning 'to divide'. The noun form 'διαμέρισμα' thus refers to a divided or partitioned space, which is conceptually related to an apartment as a sectioned-off living area within a larger building.
