Etymology
Ερευνητής comes from the verb ερευνώ, meaning to search or investigate, plus the agent suffix -ητής, meaning one who does something. The verb ερευνώ descends from ancient Greek ἐρευνάω, which already meant to search or seek out. Its deeper root is disputed among linguists, so no further origin is claimed here.
