Hecate

The story

1. Ancient Greek · derived fromἑκών“will”
2. Ancient Greek · derived fromἙκάτη
3. Latin · borrowed fromHecatē
4. English todayHecate

Via Latin Hecatē from Ancient Greek Ἑκάτη (Hekátē), possibly the feminine equivalent of Ἑκατός (Hekatós) or ἑκάεργος (hekáergos), an obscure epithet of Apollo, variously interpreted as "one who works/operates from afar", "one who drives off", "the far reaching one" or "the far-darter". Some rather suggest that the name derives from Ancient Greek ἑκών (hekṓn, “will”).
