Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `steam and odour of fat, smell and savour of burnt sacrifice, fat caul' (Il., Arist., hell.).Compounds: Compp., e. g. πολύ-κνισος `with rich smell of the sacrifice' (A. R.).Derivatives: κνισήεις (κ 10, Pi.), κνισωτός (A. Ch. 485), κνισηρός (Achae. 7) `smelling of fat', κνισώδης `id, fett' (Arist., Gal.), κνισαλέος (H.), κνισός (Ath. 3, 115e; = κνισήεις. Denomin. verbs: κνισάω `fill with the smell...' (E., Ar.), κνισόομαι, - όω `be changed into the smell..., give the smell...' (Arist., Ph.).Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably], PGX [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Lat. nīdor m. `smell of roasted meat, vapour, smoke', which can come from * cnīdōs, makes for κνίση, from where secondarily κνῖσα (Solmsen Wortforschung 238), an s-stem based *κνῑδσ-ᾱ possible, from IE. * knīdos- n.; cf. on ἕρση. Close is OWNo. hniss n. `strong smell, bad taste in eating', IE. *knĭd-to-. As this without doubt belongs to hnītan `push against' (cf. Goth. stigqan `push' = OHG stincan `stink'), one assumes also for nīdor and κνῖσα a comparable origin, i.e. connection with κνίζω. As for κνί̄δη we have however for κνῖσα and nīdor to start from a longvovalic form. - From Celtic perh. here Ir. a. Welsh cnes `skin' (IE. *knĭd-tā; cf. OWNo. hniss; on the meaning Vendryes WuS 12, 243). - See Bq, Bechtel Lex. s. κνίση, W.-Hofmann s. nidor; s. also on - κναίω. - The long vowel is quite problematic for IE; is the word rather Pre-Greek?Page in Frisk: 1,885Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > κνῖσα
