Etymology
διαμονή comes from the verb διαμένω, which combines the prefix δια- (through, during) with μένω (to remain, to stay). μένω traces back to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning to remain, which also gave Latin manere. The noun διαμονή literally means the act of remaining somewhere, and in modern use it refers to a stay or period of accommodation.
