κάνω
Lemma: κάνω
Translation: make; do; create (verb)
Etymology: From Medieval Greek κάμνω (kamno), from Ancient Greek κάμνω (kámnō) meaning 'to work, labor, toil'. The semantic shift from 'to work/labor' to the more general 'to do/make' reflects a common pattern in verb evolution where specific manual labor terms become generalized action verbs.
