What is the greek word for cabinet?

There isn't a single, direct Greek word that translates perfectly to the modern English word "cabinet" in the sense of a group of advisors to a head of state. The concept itself is a relatively modern one.

However, depending on the nuance you want to convey, several words or phrases *could* be used to describe it, depending on the context:

* υπουργικό συμβούλιο (ypourgiko symboulio): This translates literally to "ministerial council" and is the closest equivalent to the modern concept of a cabinet. It's the official term used in modern Greek for a government's cabinet.

* You might also use descriptive phrases depending on the context, such as a phrase indicating a group of advisors (e.g., σύμβουλοι, *symvouloi* - advisors, or a phrase describing their function, such as η ομάδα των συμβούλων του πρωθυπουργού (i omaada ton symboulon tou prothypourgou) - the Prime Minister's team of advisors.

Therefore, υπουργικό συμβούλιο is the best and most commonly used translation, but it's important to remember it's not a direct word-for-word equivalent.
