Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'κάρτα' meaning 'card' is borrowed from the Italian word 'carta', which itself comes from the Latin 'charta', meaning 'paper' or 'document'. The Latin term is derived from the Ancient Greek 'χάρτης' (khartēs), which referred to a sheet of papyrus or paper. This reflects the historical use of cards as paper-based items.
