Etymology
Πισίνα entered Modern Greek in the twentieth century as a loanword from Italian piscina. The Italian word goes back to Latin piscina, meaning fish pond or pool, which derives from piscis, meaning fish. Greek adopted the term along with the spread of built swimming pools, and it now sits alongside the older native word κολυμβητήριο.
