φεύγω
Lemma: φεύγω
Translation: to leave; to depart; to go away (verb)
Etymology: From Ancient Greek φεύγω (pheúgō). The root is related to Latin fugio (flee), which gives us English 'fugitive'. The same Indo-European root *bheug- appears in words related to flight and escape across many languages. Understanding this connection to 'fugitive' helps remember both meaning and pronunciation.
