εξακολουθώto continue, to keep onEtymology
Εξής comes from Ancient Greek ἑξῆς, an old adverb built on the same stem as ἔχω, meaning to have or to hold. The sense grew from things holding onto one another in a row, so the word came to mean one after another, in sequence. Modern Greek kept it mainly in set phrases like ως εξής, as follows, and στο εξής, from now on.
