Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'θαυμάσιος' meaning 'wonderful' derives from the Ancient Greek 'θαυμάσιος', which in turn comes from 'θαυμάζω' meaning 'to wonder at, to admire'. This verb is formed from the noun 'θαῦμα' meaning 'wonder, marvel'. The word has retained its meaning related to admiration and wonder through its historical forms.
