Benveniste Origines 108), with - άνιον (Eub.), - ανάομαι (A.), - ανόομαι (Hp.) `to be twined round'. 4. πλέγμα ( ἔμ-, σύμ-πλέκω a.o.) n. `plait, wattling a.o.'

R., AP), suffix - σμο-(Schwyzer 493); connection to the σ-stem in rare πλέκος (prob. innovation) not credible; note however the s-deriv. in the Germ. word for `flax', OHG flahs, OE fleax n. (PGm. * flahsa-).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [834] *pleḱ- `twine'

Etymology: The thematic root-present πλέκω, on which the whole system including the nouns can have been built (on the aorist πλέξαι Schwyzer 754; πλακῆναι etc. then analog. innovations), has outside Greek no exact correspondence. However, in Lat. an intensive deverbative in plicō, - āre `fold (together)' (for * plecō after the far more usual compp. ex-plicō etc.), partly in Lat., Germ., perh. also in Slav. a t-enlargement in Lat. plectō = Germ., e.g. OHG flehtan ' flechten', Slav., e.g. OCS pletǫ, plesti `συρράπτειν', Russ. pletú, plestí (-tь) `twine', also `lie, cut up'. An isolated verbal noun has been retained in Skt. praśnaḥ m. `turban, headband' (IE *ploḱ-no-s); on further possible representatives in Indo-Iran. Mayrhofer s. v. -- Further forms w. lit. in WP. 2, 97f., Pok. 834f., W.-Hofmann s. 1. plectō and plicō, Ernout-Meillet s. plectō; Slav. forms in Vasmer s. pletú.
