απόφαση
Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Byzantine Greek ἀπόφαση (apóphasē, “decree, ruling”) from Ancient Greek ᾰ̓πόφᾰσῐς (apóphasis, “decision, sentence, verdict”), ἀπο- (apo-, “away, from, off”) + φᾰ́σῐς (phásis, “appearance; denunciation; accusation”), from ἀποφαίνω (apophaínō, “make known, declare; produce, render; denounce”), root verb φαίνω (phaínō, “bring to light; appear; denounce”) from Proto-Hellenic *pʰáňňō, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂- (“to shine”). Only partially cognate to Latin apophasis, English apophasis, from the identical form ᾰ̓πόφᾰσῐς (apóphasis, “denial, negation”), root *bʰeh₂- (“to say”) via root verb φημί (phēmí, “to speak”).
