Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'δρόμος' meaning 'road' derives from the Ancient Greek 'δρόμος', which also meant 'course' or 'race'. This, in turn, comes from the verb 'τρέχω' meaning 'to run', reflecting the original sense of a path or course for running. Over time, the meaning broadened to include any road or path.
