Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'προσοχή' meaning 'attention' comes from the Ancient Greek 'προσοχή' (prosokhē), which is derived from the verb 'προσέχω' (prosekhō) meaning 'to apply' or 'to give heed'. This verb is composed of 'πρός' (pros) meaning 'towards' and 'ἔχω' (ekhō) meaning 'to have' or 'to hold'.
