Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'τιμή' meaning 'price' originates from Ancient Greek 'τιμή', which meant 'honor, esteem, or value'. This word is derived from the Proto-Hellenic '*timā', which in turn comes from the Proto-Indo-European root '*kʷei-', meaning 'to value, honor'. Over time, the meaning of 'τιμή' shifted to include the concept of monetary value or price.
