Etymology
εκδήλωση is the verbal noun of εκδηλώνω 'to manifest, bring out,' built from the prefix εκ- 'out, forth' and δηλώνω 'to declare, make clear,' itself from the adjective δῆλος 'evident, manifest.' The literal idea is 'a bringing-out into clarity' — a manifestation. The PIE root of δῆλος is generally reconstructed as *deyh₂- 'to shine, appear,' though its etymology is debated. In modern Greek the word has additionally specialized to mean a public 'event' or 'function.'
