Semeion revisited Interest in various sign systems used by humans reaches well back to ancient times.
But it was only after renewed interest in semiotics-the discipline dealing with signs (semeion is the Greek word for sign)-that researchers from various other disciplines started looking at signs and their use by humans.
Their basic meaning is as follows: 1, _dunamis_, power, energy, a faculty or ability to do; 2, _ergon_, a work, an arrangement in order, with purpose and skill; 3, _teras_, to turn, to resolve, to excite wonder or fear; 4, _semeion_, the word most frequently employed, indicates a sign, mark, or token by which a thing is shown, something used to represent something else.
Semeiology (from [Greek: semeion], a sign) is a term much in use, with essentially the same meaning as symptomatology, but less conveniently distinctive, since it does not so well indicate the contrast between obvious signs, or symptoms, and those more recondite, obtained by the methods of physical diagnosis.
