OT 7) with θνησιμαῖον `cadaver' (LXX; Chantraine Formation 49, Mélanges Maspéro 221); in the same meaning also θνᾱσίδιον, θνησ(ε)ίδιον (Lesbos, Ael.; Schwyzer 270).

Ag. 1294) from εὖ θνῄσκειν; cf. εὑθάνατος, - τέω, - σία; diff., hardly correct, Arbenz 78 u. 84.Etymology: The form θαν- ( εῖν) and θάνα-(τος) θνᾱ-(τός) point to a form *dhnh₂-, *dhnh₂-e- beside *dhnh₂- before consonant. The comparison with Skt. aorist á-dhvanī-t `he disappeared' and the ptc. dhvān-tá- `dark' led to the reconstruction IE dhu̯enǝ-; the meaning `die' stems from a euphemism, cf. Chantraine Sprache 1, 146. See Pok. 266. But the -u̯- is not quite certain.Page in Frisk: 1,652-653Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θάνατος
