Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'οποίος' meaning 'who' traces its origins to Ancient Greek 'ὅποιος' (hópoios), which is a compound of 'ὅς' (hós, 'who') and 'ποῖος' (poîos, 'of what kind'). This construction was used to form relative pronouns indicating a person or thing previously mentioned or understood.
