Etymology
Οδήγηση is a deverbal noun from the verb οδηγώ, meaning to lead or drive, itself built on οδός, meaning way or road, plus the verb ἡγέομαι, meaning to lead. The suffix -ηση forms an action noun, so οδήγηση literally denotes the act of leading or guiding, which narrowed in Modern Greek mainly to the act of driving a vehicle.
