παντρεύομαι
Lemma: παντρεύομαι
Translation: they were getting married; they used to marry (verb)
Etymology: From Medieval Greek παντρεύω (pantrevó), from Ancient Greek ἀνδρεύω (andreúō, "to make a man of"), from ἀνήρ (anḗr, "man"). The modern form developed with the addition of the prefix παν- (pan-, "all"), suggesting the completeness of the union. The middle voice form παντρεύομαι indicates that the subject is both performing and receiving the action of marriage.
