What is the Greek word for scaffolding?

There isn't a single, direct Greek word for "scaffolding" as we understand it in the construction sense.

However, here are some options depending on the specific context:

* Παντοκράτης (Pantokrates): This word literally means "all-powerful" and was sometimes used to refer to a type of temporary structure used in building, especially for supporting a roof.

* Σκαλωσιά (Skalosia): This word is a more modern term derived from the Italian "scaffale," meaning "shelf" or "scaffold." It is the most common word for "scaffolding" in modern Greek.

* Πλατφόρμα (Platforma): This means "platform" and can be used to refer to the flat surface of scaffolding.

* Στήριγμα (Stirigma): This means "support" and could be used to describe the overall function of scaffolding.

* Εξέδρα (Exedra): This means "stage" or "platform" and could be used to refer to a specific part of scaffolding, especially if used for working on a structure.

The best choice depends on the specific context and the intended meaning.
