Definition: The word "dawn" comes from the Ancient Greek word "δάνδρα," meaning a morning or early day (from the ancient Greek word δάναντος, which means "day"). This term evolved into the modern English word "day". The word has no specific history with the Germanic languages but is related to the Old Norse and Old Danish words for "sunset." It has been used in various contexts throughout history including religious texts, mythology, literature, and everyday speech.
