Inflection: Singular, Genitive, Masculine

Synonyms: ΟΙΚΟΝΟΜΟΣ, ΔΙΑΧΕΙΡΙΣΤΗΣ

Etymology: The word ΕΠΙΤΡΟΠΟΣ is derived from the preposition ἐπί (epi), meaning 'upon' or 'over', and the noun τρόπος (tropos), meaning 'turn' or 'way', which itself comes from the verb τρέπω (trepo), 'to turn'. Thus, it literally means 'one who turns things over' or 'one who is over the ways/affairs'.
