Episode 162: Catastrophe

(intro & piano music)Κατά (kata) is a preposition and, among other things, it means 'down'. Στροφή (strofi) means 'turn'. The combined word originally meant 'a turn for the worse' but it arrived in England through Latin literature in the 1500 where it was used to describe the ending of a dramatic work or the event that lead to it. In modern Greek it means 'Destruction' or, the same as in English, 'Disaster'. Καταστροφή/Catastrophe
