Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'τελευταίος' meaning 'last' derives from the Ancient Greek 'τελευταῖος' with the same meaning. This, in turn, comes from the verb 'τελευτάω' meaning 'to end, to finish'. The word has maintained its meaning related to being the final or concluding part of something throughout its history.
