Etymology
Εκτέλεση is a noun built from the verb εκτελώ, "to carry out" or "to complete." That verb combines the prefix εκ- ("out, to completion") with τελώ, from τέλος, "end" or "completion." The -ση ending turns the verb into an action noun, so εκτέλεση literally names the act of bringing something to its end.
