Etymology
Greek borrowed the word directly from English "radar" in the mid-20th century, alongside the spread of the technology itself. The English word began as the acronym RADAR, for RAdio Detection And Ranging, coined by the US Navy in 1940. Greek adopted it as an indeclinable neuter noun, spelled phonetically with Greek letters.
