Dunamis or dynamis (Greek δυναμις) is an Ancient Greek word meaning "power" or "force". It is the root of the English words "dynamic", "dynamite", and "dynamo". The word "dunamis" is sometimes seen in English texts because of its importance in philosophy. In Latin the dunamis is translated as potentia which is the root of the word potential (see Aristotle's Actus et potentia).
