单词 μείζων
释义

μείζων

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From Proto-Hellenic *méďďōn, from Proto-Indo-European *méǵh₂yōs, from *méǵh₂s (great), from which comes μέγᾰς (mégas). The ει (ei) is a long vowel that developed by analogy with κρείττων (kreíttōn) and ἀμείνων (ameínōn). By surface analysis, μέγας (mégas) + -ίων (-íōn).
