Etymology
Όραση comes from ancient Greek ὅρασις, a noun built from the verb ὁράω, meaning to see. That verb traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root for seeing or perceiving. Greek turned it into an abstract noun for the act and faculty of sight, and Modern Greek kept the word largely intact for both everyday and medical use.
