Etymology
Χυμός comes from the ancient Greek verb χέω, meaning to pour. The original sense covered any liquid that flows from a body, including sap from plants and fluid from living tissue. Ancient medicine used it for the four bodily humors, and the modern language narrowed it mainly to fruit juice.
