A conversation between two or more people.
The Greek roots

λόγος
lógos

Literally: “words between”
The story of the word
Not 'two words' as often assumed, but words passing 'between' people — diá, not di-.
The same roots elsewhere
Other languages reached for exactly the same Greek pieces.
In a sentence
