σκηνήtent; also stageEtymology
Κατασκήνωση comes from the verb κατασκηνώνω, built from the prefix κατα- and σκηνή, meaning tent. The suffix -ωση turns the verb into a noun naming the action or its result. σκηνή itself later gave Greek its word for a theater stage, since ancient actors performed in front of a tent-like structure.
