Etymology
Εξάσκηση is a noun formed from the verb εξασκώ, which combines the prefix εξ- (out, thoroughly) with ασκώ, the modern reflex of ancient Greek ἀσκέω, meaning to work at, train, or practice. The suffix -ση turns the verb into an abstract noun of action, so εξάσκηση literally denotes the act of practicing or training. The further origin of ἀσκέω is not securely established, so no Proto-Indo-European root can be given with confidence.
