δουλειά
Lemma: δουλειά
Translation: work; business; jobs (noun)
Etymology: From Ancient Greek δουλεία (douleia, 'slavery, servitude'), from δοῦλος (doulos, 'slave'). The meaning evolved from 'servitude' to 'work' in general. This semantic shift reflects historical changes in labor concepts, where work was once associated with servitude but gradually became associated with employment and occupation.
