Hello and welcome to your Greek Word on A Sunday. A weekly , bite-size podcast for anyone curious on language, etymology and connections. I am your host Emmanuela Lia and wherever you are in the world if you want to entertain your brain for a few minutes, this is the podcast for you. Let's go!
The letter A pronounced >a< in Greek is also used as a privative prefix and the letter B is pronounced V. The word Βυσσος (Vyssos) or Βυθος (Vythos) means 'the bed, the ground the depth' of something. So, A and Vyssos makes Avyssos which means something with 'no ground, no ground, of unknown depth'  ABYSS
