English Translation
Tom said he’d be willing to try something new.
The Greek word “πρόθυμος” (prothymos) is derived from two components: “πρό” (pro), meaning “before” or “in front of,” and “θυμός” (thymos), which refers to “spirit,” “soul,” or “passion.”
Thus, “πρόθυμος” can be understood as someone who is eager or willing, literally translating to “having spirit before” or “having a forward spirit.” The term conveys a sense of readiness and enthusiasm, often in the context of being willing to take action or engage in tasks.
In modern Greek, “πρόθυμος” retains this meaning, often used to describe someone who is proactive or enthusiastic about helping or participating in activities.
