Etymology
δοκιμή comes from the ancient Greek verb δοκιμάζω, meaning to test or assess the value of something, especially coins for purity. That verb traces back to δοκέω, meaning to think or seem, and further to the same root that gave rise to words about judgment and opinion. The noun kept its core sense of putting something to the test across the history of Greek.
