Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'νερό' meaning 'water' is derived from the Byzantine Greek 'νερόν', which in turn comes from the Ancient Greek 'νῆρον' (nêron), meaning 'fresh water'. The term is believed to have originated from a Pre-Greek substrate language, as it does not have a clear Indo-European root.
