Etymology
δραστηριότητα is built from the adjective δραστήριος, meaning active or energetic, plus the abstract-noun suffix -ότητα, which works like English -ness or -ity. δραστήριος in turn comes from the verb δράω, to do or act. The same root δρα- shows up in δράση (action) and δράστης (perpetrator), and it reached English through borrowings such as drama and drastic.
