Etymology
Σετ is a direct loanword from English "set", taken into Greek in the twentieth century along with other foreign terms for consumer goods and sports. It stayed indeclinable, keeping the same shape in singular, plural and every case. English "set" itself goes back to Old English "settan", a causative verb built on the same Indo-European root that gave English "sit".
