    If memory serves this is λειτουργία (pardon if I get the Greek wrong; I’ve only ever studied Koine and I’m typing on a phone), which is the root of the concept of “liturgy.” Basically “liturgy” (in a religious ceremonial sense) harkens back to the feasts and festivals that wealthy Grecians were obligated to provide for the benefit of the populace.
