Etymology
Ηγεσία comes from the verb ηγέομαι, meaning to lead or to go before others. Ancient Greek ἡγέομαι itself likely traces to a root meaning to track or seek out, since a leader is one who finds the way first. The suffix -σία turns the verb into an abstract noun naming the state or activity of leading.
