I was having such thoughts some days ago, wondering how a bunch of words came this way(especially in greek, cause even a lot of English words - i mean A LOT- have Greek origins)

 

For example, Architect , that should mean 'Archi' (Αρχη- Start/First)' 'tect' (Τεκτον- Child) that should mean

the one that made the first humans, the creator

 

and such other thingies :P

 

 

I might be a bit out of movie's point, i will watch that definitely, seems interesting :D

"Idiot" comes from the ancient greek word "ίδιος" (idios) (self, own). Ancient Greeks used the term ιδιώτης (idiotis) to describe someone who refused to participate in political/society's life.
