στενό
Lemma: στενό
Translation: strait; narrow passage; channel (noun)
Etymology: From Ancient Greek 'στενός' (stenós) meaning 'narrow'. The word has maintained its meaning of narrowness throughout its history. The same root gives us English scientific terms like 'stenosis' (abnormal narrowing of a passage in the body) and 'stenography' (narrow or shorthand writing).
