τηΰσιος
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- τᾱΰσῐος (tāǘsios) – Doric
Etymology
An isolated poetic adjective. If it originally meant "deceptive", from Proto-Indo-European *(s)teh₂y- (“to steal”), cognate with Sanskrit तायु (tāyu, “thief”), Avestan 𐬙𐬁𐬫𐬎 (tāyu, “thief”), Hittite [script needed] (tāyezzi), [script needed] (tāyazzi, “to steal”), Proto-Slavic *tajiti (“to hide, conceal”), etc. The suffix -σῐος may have been added directly to an unattested noun *τᾱΰς (*tāǘs) after the pattern of δημόσιος (dēmósios) from δῆμος (dêmos). Compare also τητάομαι (tētáomai, “to lack, be in want, be robbed”).
