Meaning & History
Derived from Greek ἐπί (epi) meaning "upon, on" and μένος (menos) meaning "power, strength, spirit". Also compare the Greek verb ἐπιμένω (epimeno) meaning "to stay on, tarry; to persist", which is ultimately composed of the aforementioned ἐπί (epi) and (meno) meaning "to stay, remain; to last, withstand".
