Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'δικηγόρος' meaning 'lawyer' comes from the Ancient Greek 'δικηγόρος', which was a compound of 'δίκη' (díkē, meaning 'justice' or 'trial') and 'ἀγορεύω' (agoreúō, meaning 'to speak publicly'). It referred to someone who spoke in court on behalf of another, essentially a legal advocate.
