Etymology
Πώληση is the modern form of the ancient noun πώλησις, built from the verb πωλέω ("to sell, offer for sale"), already common in Homer. The verb's ultimate root is not securely established, so no reliable Indo-European root can be given. The word simply nominalizes the act described by πωλώ, the everyday Greek verb for selling.
