Etymology
μίσος descends from Ancient Greek μῖσος, meaning hatred, and shares its root with the verb μισέω, to hate. The word's origin before Greek is not settled among scholars, so no reliable deeper root can be given. It has stayed in continuous use from antiquity through to Modern Greek with the same core sense.
