Etymology
Μυστικό is the neuter form of the adjective μυστικός, meaning secret or confidential. It comes from μύστης, an initiate into a religious mystery cult, which in turn comes from the verb μυέω, to initiate or induct into secret rites. The word carries the old sense of knowledge reserved for the initiated, later widened to any private information.
