Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'μάλλον' meaning 'probably' originates from the Ancient Greek 'μάλλον', which meant 'more' or 'rather'. This word is derived from the comparative form of 'μάλα', meaning 'very' or 'much'. Over time, the meaning shifted from indicating a degree of comparison to expressing likelihood or probability.
