πίνωdrink (as a noun, informal usage)Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'πίνω' meaning 'drink' originates from the Ancient Greek verb 'πίνω' with the same meaning. This, in turn, comes from the Proto-Hellenic '*píno', which is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root '*peh₃-' meaning 'to drink'. The word has maintained its meaning throughout its history.
