νόμοςlawEtymology
Διανομή comes from the verb διανέμω, itself built from the prefix δια- (through, across) and νέμω (to distribute, allot, deal out). The suffix -ή turns the verbal idea into an abstract feminine noun, so the word literally denotes the act of allotting something across a group. The underlying verb νέμω also gave Greek νόμος, meaning law or custom, from the sense of an allotted, agreed order.
