单词 ξηρός
释义

ξηρός

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

  • ξερός (xerós) Ionic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *kseros. Cognates include Latin serescō, Old High German serawēn, Old Armenian չոր (čʿor), Middle Armenian չիր (čʿir) and perhaps Sanskrit क्षार (kṣārá, sharp, acrid, pungent). However, the lengthened vowel η where ε would normally be expected is problematic.
