επιλογή

Etymology: From Ancient Greek ἐπιλογή (epilogē), composed of ἐπί (epi, 'upon, over') + λόγος (logos, 'word, speech, reason') + -ή (-ē, feminine ending). Originally meant 'epilogue' or 'conclusion' in ancient times, but evolved to mean 'selection' or 'choice' in modern Greek. The connection lies in the idea of 'speaking upon' or 'deciding upon' something after consideration. English speakers can connect this to 'epilogue' (the concluding part of a literary work) and recognize the 'epi-' prefix meaning 'upon' or 'over', found in words like 'episode', 'epidemic', and 'epitome'.
