emocracy?
Democracy is indeed greek but i don't think that's what they were asking.
Democracy originated before the turn of the 5th century.
Yes it does. Demo = people, cracy = rule. Democracy, rule by the people.
Representative democracy as known today originated in ancient Greece, particularly in Athens. The concept was further developed during the Enlightenment period in Europe, with key contributions by philosophers such as John Locke and Montesquieu. The modern form of representative democracy began to take shape with the establishment of constitutional governments in countries like England and the United States.

It is likely that History does not record the origin of Democracy. The Greeks and Romans were known to have elections yet the eligible voters of these societies were only a small percentage of the people. Machiavelli in "Discourses on Livy" suggest that democracies have existed for as long as history was recorded. John Lock in his "Second Trieste on Government" suggest that democracy may be the oldest form of government outside of a Patriarchy.
Well, would go to the Greek root, with the word demos, which means people, and arche, which means rule. Thus, rule by the people.
