Your Greek Word On A Sunday

Episode 224: Phantom

22 Oct 2023

Description

(Intro & piano music)Approaching Halloween so, let the spooky words in! Φαίνειν is an ancient Greek infinitive and it means 'to appear/ to make something visible'. The thing that is been made visible is a Φάντασμα  and it used to mean 'an illusion' before it meant 'an apparition'. The root of this word can be found in old Armenian, old Irish and of course Sanskrit but the Greek one is the one that came through. Latin 'Fantasma', French 'Fantome' and eventually the English in the 1300's. ΦΑΝΤΑΣΜΑ/PHANTOMInstagram @yourgreeksunday ,Blue Sky @yourgreeksunday.bsky.socialemail [email protected]
