Etymology
Τίτλος is a direct loan from Latin titulus, meaning an inscription, label, or heading. It entered Greek during the Roman and Byzantine periods, when Latin administrative and legal terms spread through the eastern Mediterranean. The word kept its core sense of a name or heading attached to a work, position, or document. The origin of Latin titulus itself is not securely traced further back, so no reliable Indo-European root can be given.
