Etymology
The verb builds on ουρώ, the ancient Greek οὐρέω, meaning to urinate, with the prefix κατά- added for intensity, giving the sense of urinating down or all over oneself. Κατουριέμαι is the mediopassive form, used only reflexively, so it describes something happening to your own body rather than an action you perform on something else. Modern Greek keeps it as an everyday, informal verb for losing bladder control, whether literally or as a colorful exaggeration for fear or laughter.
