Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'εργασία' meaning 'work' derives from Ancient Greek 'ἐργασία' (ergasía), which also means 'work' or 'labor'. This, in turn, comes from the verb 'ἐργάζομαι' (ergázomai), meaning 'to work' or 'to labor'. The root of these words is 'ἔργον' (érgon), meaning 'work' or 'task'.
