θεωρώto consider, to viewθεωρίαtheoryEtymology
Επιθεώρηση is a noun formed from the verb επιθεωρώ, itself built from the prefix επί (upon, over) and θεωρώ (to view, to consider). Θεωρώ traces to Ancient Greek θεωρός, a spectator or envoy sent to watch sacred games, from θέα (a viewing) and ὁράω (to see). The Greek root behind ὁράω goes back to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning to watch or perceive.
