Etymology
From Ancient Greek ἐκδοχή ('a receiving from, a taking up, an interpretation'), a deverbal noun from ἐκδέχομαι ('to receive from, take up, understand'). This is ἐκ ('out of, from') combined with δέχομαι ('to receive, accept'). The sense shifted from 'how one takes/receives something' to 'one's interpretation or version of it'.
