Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'μέλος' meaning 'member' traces back to Ancient Greek 'μέλος' with the same meaning. This term was used to refer to a limb or part of the body, and by extension, a member of a group or community. The word has been retained in Modern Greek with its meaning largely intact.
