Etymology
The Modern Greek word "πιθανότητα" meaning "probability" derives from the Ancient Greek "πιθανότης" (pithanotēs), which means "persuasiveness" or "probability". This in turn comes from "πιθανός" (pithanos), meaning "persuasive" or "probable", which is derived from the verb "πείθω" (peithō), meaning "to persuade" or "to convince".
