Meaning: `the olive (tree)' (Od.), rare ἔλαιος (m.) `(wild) olive' (Pi. Fr. 46, S. Tr. 1197);

Other forms: Att. also ἐλά̄α, Ion. ἐλαίη. Cypr. ἔλαιϜον ( Kadmos 3, 1965, 148).

Dialectal forms: Myc. erawa, -wo \/ elaiwa, - won\/.

Compounds: Because of the economic value of the oil and the olivetree there are many compounds, esp. since hellen. times. As 1. member ἐλαιο- refers not only to ἔλαιον, but also to ἐλαία, e. g. ἐλαιό-φυτος `planted with olives' (A.). As 2. member in bahuvrihi, e. g. ἄν-ελαιος `without oil, olives' (Thphr., Str.); in determinatives, e. g. ἀγρι-έλαιος = ἄγριος ἔλαιος (Thpr. usw.), χαμ-ελαία `Daphne oleoides' (Nic.), cf. Risch IF 59, 257, Strömberg Pflanzennamen 110; γλυκ-έλαιον `sweet-oil', ὑδρ-έλαιον "wateroil", i. e. `oil mixed with water' (late).

Derivatives: ἔλαιον n. `olive-oil, oil in general' (Il.); on the pair ἐλαία (- ος): ἔλαιον, for the tree resp. the product, s. Wackernagel Syntax 2, 17, Schwyzer-Debrunner 30. Substantiva: ἐλᾱΐς f., acc. pl. ἐλᾳ̃δας `olive-trees' (Att.; s. Chantr. Form. 344), diminut. ἐλᾳδιον (- ίδιον) `small olive-tree', also (from ἔλαιον) `a little oil' (Com., pap.); ἐλαιών, - ῶνος m. `thicket of olives' (LXX, pap.), `the olive mountain' (NT, J.), diminut. ἐλαιωνίδιον (pap.); ἐλαιεύς `id.' (Chalkis; s. Boßhardt Die Nom. auf - ευς 21f.). Adj. ἐλαίϊνος, ἐλά̄ϊνος `of olive -wood, belonging to the olive' (Il.), `of olive-oil' (Orph. L. 717); - ίνεος `of olive-wood' (ι 320 and 394; metrically easy contamination of - ινος and - εος, Risch Wortbildung 122, Schmid -εος und -ειος 38); ἐλαϊκός `of olive' (Aristeas, pap.); ἐλαιηρός `regarding oil' (Hp., Pl., pap. ; s. Chantraine 232); ἐλαιώδης `oily' (Hp., Arist.); ἐλαιήεις `belonging to the olive' (S.; on the formation Schwyzer 527). Denomin. verbs: ἐλαΐζω `cultivate olives' with ἐλαιστήρ, - τής `collector of olives' (Poll.) and ἐλαιστήριον `olive-press' (Mylasa); ἐλαιόομαι `be oiled' (Arist.) with ἐλαίωσις (Zos. Alch.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Lat. olīva, from Greek, proves a basic *ἐλαίϜᾱ, with *ἔλαιϜον to Lat. oleum. From Latin all European forms (s. W.-Hofmann 2, 205f.). On itself Arm. ewɫ `oil', which comes together with ἐλαία, ἔλαιον from a Mediterranaean source (Crete?, s. W.-Hofmann s. v.). See Bq. - The word is no doubt a Pre-Greek word.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `pluck (flowers)' (Sapph.), also of olives = `squeeze'? ( Com. Adesp. 437; ἀμέργω τὸ ἐκπιέζω Hdn.). - The meaning `to squeeze olives' suggests a Pre-Greek word.

Compounds: XX [unknown]

Derivatives: ἀμόργη `watery part which runs out when olives are pressed' (Hp.; \> Lat. amurca, amurga), also ἀμόργης, ἄμοργος, ἄμοργις; ngr. μούργα, μοῦργος s. Kapsomenos ByzZ 36, 316f., Psaltes Festschrift Hatzidakis 66ff. - Nom. ag. (in metaph. sense) ἀμοργοί πόλεως ὄλεθροι (Cratin.). ἄμοργμα σύλλεγμα, ἄρτυμα H. - Unclear ἀμοργίς, - ίδος f. `stalks of mallow, Malva silvestris' (Ar.); after the island Amorgos (Taillardat, Rev.de phil. 33, 1959, 66; cf. also REG 64, 1951, 11ff.)? - The meaning `squeeze olives' suggests a Pre-Greek word.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Lat. mergae `pitch-fork' seems not related. - Though a PIE root * h₂merg- is perfectly possible, the word may also be a technical term borrowed from the substr. language, esp. if it originally refers specifically to the handling of olives (the name of the island is no doubt also a substr. element).

Grammatical information: f. (late also m.).

Meaning: `herling, unripe sour bunch of grapes' (η 125), also of olives (Poll.); metaph. of a younge girl, an undeveloped nipple etc. (poet.).

Derivatives: 1. ὀμφάκιον n. `juice of unripe grapes or olives' (Hp., pap.); 2. ὀμφακίς, - ίδος f. `cup of a certain kind of oak' (Paul. Aeg.; because of the contracting astringent taste); 3. ὀμφακ-ίας ( οἶνος) m. `herling wine' (Gal.), metaph. = `sour, unripe' (Ar., Luc.; cf. Chantraine Form. 94 f.); - ίτης ( οἶνος) m. `id.', also name of a stone (Gal.; codd. - τίτης), - ῖτις f. of ἐλαίη (Hp.), `kind of oakapple' (Dsc., Gal.; Redard 58, 98, 75, 114); 4. ὀμφακώδης 'ὄ.-like' (Hp., Arist.), - ινος `made of ὄ.' (Hp., pap.), - ηρὰ ( ἀγγεῖα) n. pl. `vessels for ὄ.' (medic., pap.); 5. ὀμφακίζω 'to be ὄ., i.e. sour, unripe', also of other fruits (LXX, Dsc.), - ίζομαι `to pick sour wine grapes' (Epich.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Unexplained, perh. a foreign word (cf. Chantraine Form. 377). On itself ὄμφ-αξ could come from an unattested *ὀμφων ( = Lat. umbō etc.; s. ὀμφαλός); the semantic explanation "navellike knob" (WP. 1, 130, Pok. 315, similar Grošelj Živa Ant. 2, 21 3 f. with wrong further conclusions) can hardly be considered as convincing. Another, certainly wrong explanation in Curtius 294. -- Wrong also Lagercrantz KZ 35, 285ff. (s. Bq). - Furnée 341 connects ἀμφίας `a bad Sicilian wine' and ἀμφής οἴνου ἄνθος. οἱ δε μέλανα οἶνον H. The variation would point to Pre-Greek. (The suffix - αξ is typically Pre-Greek.)

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Prob. from μόρος, μόριον `lot, share' (s. μείρομαι), as these trees formed the share, that was due to the goddess in every plantation (Latte in P.-W. 16, 302 f.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (V)
