Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: One posits *θωι-να, from θῶσθαι δαίνυσθαι, θοινᾶσθαι (A. Fr. 49), θῶται εὑθηνεῖται, θοινᾶται (on the formation Schwyzer 675 n. 8 [wrong]). H. (also θώσασθαι, θωθῆναι), θωσούμεθα (Epich. 139); θωστήρια εὑωχητήρια Alcm., H. - Schulze KZ 27, 425 = Kl. Schr. 52 (with wrong connection with θῆσθαι), Fraenkel IF 22, 396ff. However, as this verb is unexplained, this explains nothing. (S. also θώς?)
