Etymology
Εντός comes from Ancient Greek ἐντός, built from the preposition ἐν ("in") plus the adverbial ending -τός, which marks location or direction. The word already meant "within, inside" in Classical Greek and kept that sense unchanged into Modern Greek. Today it survives mainly in formal and written contexts, such as legal deadlines and official rules.
