Schwyzer RhM 81, 203); βυσσοδομεύω `build in the deep \> brood over (in the deep of one's soul), ponder deeply' (Od.), m.c. for βυσσοδομέω (Eust., Suid.) like οἰκοδομέω etc., s. K. Meister, Hom.

Ptc. βυθόωσα ( ῥίζα) `going in the deep' (Nic. Th. 505). - Further βυσσός m. `depth of the sea' (Il.), βυσσόθεν (S.). -- Also βύσσα (Opp.; after βῆσσα? so prob. secondary); further βύσσαλοι βόθροι, βυσσαλεύοντι τῳ̃ βυθῳ̃ ἐφικνουμένῳ H.; also βυθμός ἄντρον, πυθμήν, καὶ βυθμήν (perh. corrupt).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: A basis *βυθι̯ός or *βυθσός for βυσσός does not inspire confidence. Connecting βαθύς (and βῆσσα) one posited a labio-velar, but then the connection of βαθύς with βενθος must be abandoned, for which there is no reason. Also assuming a labio-velar would mean that the β- could not be regular (one expects γυ-): it would have to be introduced from βῆσσα, which a guess. Connecting γυθίσσων διορύσσων H. would give the same problem; the form can better be left aside. - The old attempts to connect βαθύς and βῆσσα (with α against υ) are most improbable and should now be abandoned. βυθός - βυσσός shows a typical variation of Pre-Greek words; see Fur.248-263, e.g. ἄνηθον\/ ἄνησον. The conclusion is confirmed by βυσσαλ- with a typical Pre-Greek suffix, cf. κόρυδος beside κορύδαλος\/ κορυδαλλός (Fur. 254) and perhaps ἄμυσσος κῆτος, and also ἀβυδόν βαθύ.Page in Frisk: 1,275-276Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > βυθός
