σχέδιο

Lemma: σχέδιο

Translation: plans; schemes; designs (noun)

Etymology: From Ancient Greek σχέδιος (skhédios, 'done or made offhand, on the spur of the moment'), from σχεδόν (skhedón, 'near, close'). The word evolved to describe something created quickly or improvised, and later came to mean a preliminary drawing or outline. Related to the English word 'scheme', which comes from the same Greek root via Latin 'schema'.
