Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'ποτό' meaning 'drink' derives from the Ancient Greek word 'ποτόν' (potón), which also means 'drink'. This, in turn, comes from the verb 'πίνω' (pínō), meaning 'to drink', which is a common verb in Ancient Greek. The word has maintained its meaning throughout history, referring to a liquid that is consumed.
