σύμβαση comes from ancient Greek σύμβασις, built from σύν (together) and the verb βαίνω (to step, to go). The original sense was a stepping together, or a meeting on common terms, which narrowed over time to mean a formal agreement. Modern Greek shortened the ancient -σις ending to -ση, giving the current form.
