Etymology
Νομικός comes from νόμος, meaning law, plus the adjective suffix -ικός, meaning pertaining to. Νόμος itself derives from the verb νέμω, to distribute or allot, since a law was originally seen as a share or portion assigned to each person. The word has kept this legal sense continuously from ancient into modern Greek.
