More Observations...

It is a combination of the word Greek with the word exit. It means "Greek Exit" and is used to refer to the exit of Greece from the eurozone or European Union (EU). Grexit entered the financial vernacular in 2012, when the withdrawal of Greece from the eurozone was suggested as a viable solution to the country's debt crisis and there were calls from some quarters for a complete withdrawal from the EU. However, the Greek government rejected Grexit and continues to be a full member of both organizations.
