ეპოქა (epok'a)=epoch=εποχή

WIKTIONARY: Etymology

From Medieval Latin epocha, from Ancient Greek ἐποχή (epokhē, “a check, cessation, stop, pause, epoch of a star, e.g., the point at which it seems to halt after reaching the highest, and generally the place of a star; hence, a historical epoch”), from ἐπέχειν (epechein, “to hold in, check”), from ἐπί (épí, “upon”) + ἔχειν (echein, “to have, hold”).
