Greek: Απόλλων (Apóllon), Απόλλωνας (Apóllonas)

→ Latin: Apollō

→ Russian: Аполло́н (Apollón)

Uncertain. Possibly from Pre-Greek, or from an older, obsolete verb meaning "to drive away," as in evil (via Klein from Usener). Plato in Cratylus connects it to ἀπόλλυμι (apóllumi, “to destroy”), ἀπολούων (apoloúōn, “washing”), ἀπολύων (apolúōn, “delivering”), ἁπλοῦν (haploûn, “simple”), and ἀειβάλλων (aeibállōn, “always shooting”). Plotinus, in Ennead V.5.6.26-30, claims that Pythagoreans derived it from ἀ- (a-) and πολῠ́ς (polús) to render Απόλλων, literally "one without parts," as a 'symbol' of the Monad.
Sometimes said to derive from *Apeljōn to synchronize the Arcadocypriot and Doric variations with the Hittite deity Apaliunas, Hittite 𒀀𒀊𒉺𒇷𒌋𒈾𒀸 (A-ap-pa-li-u-na-aš).

→ Messapic: 𐌀𐌐𐌓𐌏𐌃𐌉𐌕𐌀 (aprodita)

The theonym is found in Homer and Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.).
Traditionally it has been viewed as a compound, ἀφρός (aphrós, “sea foam, froth”) + -δίτη (-dítē), connecting the first part with the legend of the goddess' birth. This has not been accepted by modern scholars.
There is no etymology generally accepted in scholarship. Some such as Beekes propose that the name in its entirety is a loan from a non-Greek language, of probable "oriental origin", possibly Cypriot Phoenician (such as in the Idalion bilingual). A connection to Akkadian 𒀭𒈹 (ᵈIštar) has been further proposed.
An older, now rejected proposal of a Greek etymology connects -δίτη (-dítē) with the verb δέατο (déato, “to shine, to appear, seem”) (Homeric δῆλος (dêlos, “visible, conspicuous, clear”)) and interprets the name as originating from an epithet of the dawn goddess Ἠώς (Ēṓs).
Associated by the Romans with Venus, originally a goddess of less meaning and prominence.

Latin: Arēs

→ Russian: Аре́с (Arés), Аре́й (Aréj)

→ Old Church Slavonic: Арисъ (Arisŭ)

Coptic: ⲁⲣⲏⲥ (arēs)

Usually derived from the Ionic word ἀρή (arḗ, “bane, ruin”), which could be related to Sanskrit इरस्या (irasyā, “malevolence”), suggesting a Proto-Indo-European origin.
However, Morris Silver and Pierre Chantraine propose a derivation from ἄρος (áros, “use, profit, help”) instead.
𐀀𐀩 (a-re), found in Linear B, is thought to be the oldest attested form of the name.

→ Russian: Деме́тра (Demétra)

The second half is generally believed to be μήτηρ (mḗtēr, “mother”). The first element, δᾶ (dâ), is classically explained as the Attic/Ionic variant of an archaic Doric form of γῆ (gê, “earth”); other theories include a connection with Albanian dhe (“earth”) or χθών (khthṓn, “ground, earth”).
The supposed Aeolic form Δωμάτηρ (Dōmátēr) is only attested through a reconstructed inscription from the 2nd century B.C. in Aigai. The inscription reads []ω[]ατρος ([]ō[]atros), which has been read, as reported in Richard Bohn's "Altertümer von Aegae" as a genitive form of Δωμάτηρ (Dōmátēr). However, as Chantraine says, "The dialectal forms, notably Δωμάτηρ (Dōmátēr), don't offer any help to etymology," and it's disputable whether the inscription reads as such.

Coptic: ⲇⲓⲟⲛⲩⲥⲟⲥ (dionusos)

Greek: Διόνυσος (Diónysos)

Latin: Dionȳsus

Attested in Mycenaean Greek (13th to 12th century B.C.E.) as 𐀇𐀺𐀝𐀰 (di-wo-nu-so). Dialectal variants include Διένῡσος (Diénūsos), Δεύνῡσος (Deúnūsos), Δίννῡσος (Dínnūsos) and others.
Popular etymology often connected it with Διός (Diós), the genitive of Ζεύς (Zeús, “Zeus”).
The dio- forms are probably built by analogy from an original stem die-. The compound die-nūs-os is analysed as from a verbal stem die- (from δίεμαι (díemai, “to chase, to impel”)). The nūs- element gave rise to a toponym Νῦσα (Nûsa, “Nysa”), a mountain where the god was nursed by nymphs (the Nysiads, Nysa is also the name given to one of these nymphs). According to the testimony of Pherecydes of Syros (6th c. B.C.E.), nūsa is a word for "tree". Janda (Die Musik nach dem Chaos, 2010) suggests an original meaning of "impeller of the (world-)tree" (the axis mundi), connecting the god with archaic cosmology. The close association or indeed identity of Dionysus with a tree (especially the fig tree) is well attested in the classical period.

Uncertain, but either from:
* εὐρύς (eurús) + ὤψ (ṓps), literally meaning "wide face" (as a description of the beauty of the mythical Europa) or "broad eye" (metaphorically meaning something like "as far as the eye can see")
* Semitic origin; compare also Ἀσία (Asía), related to
** Akkadian 𒀭𒌓𒋙𒀀 (ᵈUD.ŠU₂.A /erebu, erbu/, “direction of the setting sun, occident, west”)
** Phoenician 𐤏𐤓𐤁 (ʿrb /ʿereb/, “evening”)

* From a separate Semitic root related to guarantees and exchanges, found in Arabic عَرَبُون (ʕarabūn, “down payment”), Hebrew בֶּן‑עֲרֻבָּה (ben‑ʿărubbāh, “hostages”), Classical Syriac ܥܪܘܒܐ (ˁārōḇā, “hostages”), stemming from mythology in which Europa is famously abducted; see the story of Cadmus, a figure also with Semitic associations, who seeks after his kidnapped sister.

pronoia

en-noun

pronoia (countable and uncountable, plural pronoiae or pronoiai or pronoias)

pronoiae (plural)
pronoiai (plural)
pronoias (plural)

Borrowed from Ancient Greek πρόνοιᾰ (prónoia, “foreknowledge, foresight; providence; form of land grant”), from πρόνοος (prónoos, “careful, prudent”) + -ῐᾰ (-ia, suffix forming nouns). πρόνοος is derived from προ- (pro-, prefix indicating a coming forth) + νόος (nóos, “the mind; act of the mind”). The English word is cognate with Latin pronoea (“providence”).
The plural form pronoiae is probably a modification of Latin pronoeae, while pronoiai is from Ancient Greek πρόνοιαι (prónoiai).

der

Unlike fiefs, pronoiai were granted only by the emperor, and so they played no role in producing the subinfeudation and the hierarchical social and political structure characteristic of Western feudalism. Pronoia was a fiscal and administrative institution; the fief territorial and personal. The grant of a pronoia was primarily a grant of revenue expressed as a monetary sum (the posotes), not in terms of a quantity of property.

1992, Mark C. Bartusis, “Smallholding and Pronoia Soldiers and Their Financing”, in Ruth Mazo Karras, editor, The Late Byzantine Army: Arms and Society, 1204–1453 (The Middle Ages Series), Philadelphia, Pa.: University of Pennsylvania Press, →ISBN, part 2 (The Army as Institution), page 183:

By 1270 Michael VIII had issued charters to two monasteries in eastern Thessaly near the Gulf of Volos (Makrinitisa and Neopetra), showing he had acquired that region. From these years imperial grants of pronoias and of tax exemptions to various notables of east Thessaly begin appearing. Thus probably in 1267/68 the Byzantines regained some or all of Thessaly's east coast.

1987, John V[an] A[ntwerp] Fine, Jr., “The Second Half of the Thirteenth Century”, in The Late Medieval Balkans: A Critical Survey from the Late Twelfth Century to the Ottoman Conquest, Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of Michigan Press, →ISBN, page 170:

The economic composition of the pronoia belonging to a heavy cavalryman in the fourteenth century, such as those who served in the mega allagion (regiment) of Thessalonike in the fourteenth century, is known to us from some of the praktika of pronoia holders that have survived. […] According to the praktikon, the revenue of the pronoiarios consisted of two parts. The first was the oikoumenon, that is, the sum of all the personal taxes paid to the pronoia holder by his paroikoi resident on the pronoia, depending on the means of production at the disposal of each paroikos. […] The second part consisted of secondary taxes and rights (e.g., on fishing, the ennomion, and the tax on flax-retting units), but above all of land, on which, theoretically, the full tax was payable[…].

Laiou, The Economic History of Byzantium: From the Seventh through the Fifteenth Century, volume 3, Washington, D.C.: Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, →ISBN, part 5 (Economic Institutions and the State), pages 1045–1046:

(historical, Byzantine Empire) An imperial grant to an individual of temporary fiscal rights in the form of land, incomes or taxes from land, fishing rights, etc., sometimes carrying with it an obligation of military service.
