Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'πρόταση' meaning 'sentence' comes from the Ancient Greek 'πρότασις', which originally referred to a 'proposition' or 'premise'. The word is formed from the prefix 'προ-' meaning 'before' and the verb 'τίθημι' meaning 'to place'. Over time, the meaning evolved to refer to a sentence as a complete proposition in language.
