Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'τραγούδι' (song) is derived from the earlier form 'τραγούδι' in the Byzantine Greek period, which is believed to have roots in the ancient Greek word 'τραγῳδία' (tragedy), originally referring to a goat song. The term has evolved over time to denote a general song, particularly in a folk context.
