Best Answer

"Deuteronomy" is derived from two Greek words, "deuteros," which means "second," and "nomos," meaning "law." ("Second Law" doesn't mean something different from the Law of Moses, but a second giving of that law.) After the first generation of Israelites to flee Egypt died in the wilderness (Numbers 14:29), the law was repeated and expounded upon to the new generation before they entered the Promised Land.
