What is the Greek word for technology?

The term “technology” comes from the ancient Greek τέχνη‎, techne, meaning “art, skill, craft.” In modern practice, definitions of technology often vary according to the discipline and era under examination.

Why English has Greek words?

This is because there were many Hellenic words borrowed from Latin originally, which then filtered down into English because English borrowed so many words from Latin (for example, “elaiwa” in Greek evolved into the Latin “oliva”, which in turn became “olive” in English). So, 30% of English words are… Greek!
