PROTAGONIST comes from the Greek “protagonistís” made up of “protos” = first and “agonistís” = fighter. The word “agon” in Greek means struggle, combat or party. The stress of antagonism to overcome a struggle creates “agony” and hence, the meaning of the latter: “distress and anguish of the dying”.
