Etymology
Ενώνω descends from the ancient Greek verb ἑνόω (henóō), meaning "to make one" or "to unite". That verb is built on ἕν (hen), the neuter form of εἷς, "one", plus the factitive suffix -όω, which turns a noun or adjective into a verb meaning "to make X". The underlying sense of ἕν goes back to a Proto-Indo-European root for "one" or "together".
