I don't mean to be rude or condescending but it should be obvious that no one 'owns' any word from scripture, past or present.

In reference to 'baptizo' we must simply understand the word in its context and usage elsewhere. However the Greeks (or the Greek Orthodox) may use the word is largely irrelevant.
