4 παχύς
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `thick, fat, well-fed, dense, stout' (Il.; on the use in Hom. Treu Von Hom. zur Lyr. 47 ff.).Compounds: Some compp., e.g. παχυ-μερής `consisting of thick parts, gross, massive' (Ti. Locr., Arist.); ὑπέρ-παχυς `too fat' (Hp.).Derivatives: 1. Copar.forms: πάσσων, only acc. - ονα (Od.), πάχ-ιστος (Il., Call.), - ίων (Arat.), - ύτερος, - ύτατος (IA.); Seiler Steigerungsformen 40 f. 2. πάχετος (rather with the Hp.mss. - ετός) = παχύς (θ 187, ψ 191, Hp.); also as subst.n. (Nic., Opp.; also ψ 191 possible), for *πάχεθος after μέγεθος? (Benveniste Origines 199); cf. Schwyzer 512, Chantraine Form. 300, Seiler 75. 3. πάχητες πλούσιοι, παχεῖς H. (after πένητες); Πάχης, - ητος m. as PN (Th.; Schwyzer 499). 4. παχυλῶς `in large draughts' (Arist.). 5. πάχος n. `thickness, strength, force' (since ι 324). 6. παχύτης (- υτής? Wackernagel Phil. 95, 177) f. `thickness'. 7. παχύνω, sporad. w. ἐπι-, ἐκ-, συν-, ὑπερ-, `to fatten, to batten' (IA.) with πάχυν-σις f. `thickening', - τικός `fattening, making fat' (medic.), - υσμός m. (Hp.), - υσμα n. (Aët.). 8. Aor. παχῶσαι `to fatten' (medic., Herm. 33, 343).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [127] *bʰn̥ǵʰ- `dende, thick'Etymology: With παχύς, if from *φαχύς (s. πῆχυς), agrees formally exact Skt. bahú- `much, richly, great, extensive'; from the full grade comp. báṃhīyān (for which with second. zero grade πάσσων) the IE base form appears as *bhn̥ǵh-; from there perh. also Hitt. panku- `together, united, general'. Semant. agrees perfectly Lat. pinguis `fatt', which differs in anlaut; perh. for * finguis through cross with the old word for `fatt' in πιμελή, πίων (s. vv.); diff. ( pinguis "early Italic") Haas, s. Leumann Glotta 42, 75. One compares further Latv. bìezs `dense, thick' and Germ., e.g. OWNo. bingr m. `heap, room (for corn etc.)'; uncertain Toch. B pkante (- atte) `size'. -- On parallel innovation rests the comparison Skt. bahu-lá- `dense, thick, extensive' = παχυ-λῶς (s. above). -- Details w. rich lit. in WP. 2, 151, Pok. 127 f., W.-Hofmann s. pinguis, Mayrhofer s. bahúḥ, bahuláḥ.Page in Frisk: 2,484-485Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > παχύς
