Greek - diatheke, dee-ath-ay-kay'; a disposition (i.e.; by assignment, compact, appointment,etc.); a contract (esp. a devisory will); - covenant, testament. Origin: Middle English: from Latin testamentum ‘a will’ (from testari ‘testify’), in Christian Latin also translating Greek diathēkē ‘covenant’. Whereas "doctrine" means Teaching; two completely different things.
