διώχνω

Lemma: διώχνω

Translation: to chase away; to expel; to drive out (verb)

Etymology: From Ancient Greek διώκω (diōkō, 'to pursue, chase'). The modern form διώχνω evolved with the addition of the -ν- infix, common in the development of many Modern Greek verbs. The ancient root is related to words expressing pursuit or driving away, and can be traced to Proto-Indo-European *deyḱ- ('to show, point out, direct').
