Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'επαφή' meaning 'contact' derives from the Ancient Greek 'ἐπαφή' (epaphē), which meant 'touching' or 'contact'. This, in turn, comes from the verb 'ἐπιφαίνω' (epiphaínō), meaning 'to touch' or 'to bring into contact'. The prefix 'ἐπι-' (epi-) means 'upon' or 'on', and 'φαίνω' (phaínō) means 'to show' or 'to appear'.
