πελώριος

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

  • τελώριος (telṓrios)
  • πέλωρος (pélōros)

Etymology

From πέλωρ (pélōr, supernatural monster) + -ιος (-ios). The noun is of unknown origin; perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *kʷer-ōr (maker, builder?) modified by dissimilation, given variant forms such as τέλωρ (télōr) and τελώριος (telṓrios) which point to an original initial *kʷ, though this derivation is problematic.[1]
