6 Comments
Στιγμή (moment) and στίγμα (mark,spot, or speck) both originate from the same ancient Greek verb, στίζω (carve a mark). You can see how stigma and στίγμα are obviously related. :)
(Also, στίζω has the meaning of use punctuation marks, which is why στιγμή is another word for dot.It's not commonly used, this way though, not at all.)
