ορμάω

Etymology: From Ancient Greek ὁρμάω (hormáō), meaning 'to set in motion, urge on, start'. It shares the same root with the English word 'hormone', which comes from Greek ὁρμή (hormḗ) meaning 'impulse, onset, assault'. This connection reveals the sense of movement and stimulation inherent in the word. The root is also related to the concept of 'impetus' or 'stimulus' that drives action.
