Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'όποτε' meaning 'whenever' derives from the ancient Greek 'ὁπότε' (hopote), which is a compound of 'ὅς' (hos, meaning 'who, which') and 'πότε' (pote, meaning 'when'). This construction was used to express indefinite time or condition, similar to its use in Modern Greek.
