Etymology
Ταξιδεύω is built on the noun ταξίδι, meaning trip or journey. That noun comes from Byzantine Greek ταξίδιον, originally a military term for an expedition or march, itself a diminutive tied to τάξις, meaning order or arrangement. Over time the word shed its military sense and settled into the everyday meaning of travel. The verb form adds the common verb-forming suffix -εύω to turn the noun into an action.
