οὐρός
See also: οὖρος
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Formerly connected to ὅρος (hóros, “frontier”) and ὀρύσσω (orússō, “to dig”). Recently, however, García Ramón has analyzed this word as an agent noun *uoru-ó- built on the same root as ἐρύω (erúō, “to drag”), thus from Proto-Indo-European *rewH- (“to tear, dig, burrow, gather”).
