Root Breakdown
Root-derivedepi- ('upon, in addition') + (eis- 'into') + hodos ('way') = a part 'coming in along the way' of a Greek drama, inserted into the main action. From that comes today's sense: one segment along the longer road of a story — an episode of a series, or a single event in a life.
