σωρός
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Within Greek some connect σῶμα (sôma, “body”). Starting from Proto-Indo-European *tuoh₂-ro-, Solmsen seeks connection with σῶς (sôs, “safe, healthy, intact”), also pleading against connection with σορός (sorós, “cup, recipient”). For the root, see Proto-Indo-European *tewh₂- (“to swell”). Compare also Old Armenian թուշ (tʿuš, “cheek”).
