单词 ῥάσσω
释义

ῥάσσω

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

  • ῥᾱ́ττω (rhā́ttō) Attic
  • ῥήσσω (rhḗssō) Ionic

Etymology

There is no certain etymology. Since a consonant must have been lost before the ῥ-, a pre-form *ϝρᾱ́χ-ιω (*wrā́kh-iō) (compare ῥαχία (rhakhía, flood tide; roar of the breakers)) can perhaps be identified with Proto-Slavic *raziti (to smite, pound). The Slavic word, however, has also been connected with *rězati (to cut, slice), which is related to ῥήγνῡμι (rhḗgnūmi, to break). The semantically attractive connection with ἀράσσω (arássō, to smite, dash) would require a pre-form *warakʰ-, but for ἀράσσω (arássō), there is no indication for ϝ-.
