Th. 688).Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: Tradit. taken as a comp. of πῦρ and ἄγειν with the meaning `turn about, around in the fire' (e.g. Bechtel Lex. s.v.), semant. and morpholog. both unsatisactory, as ἄγειν cannot mean `turn around' and a mediating *πύρακτος `turning around in fire' (Bechtel) would be without example (rather *πυρ-άκ-της, which however could hardly have meant sthing else but `fire-driver'). -- Without doubt expressive enlargement in -( α)κτέω from πυρ-άζω (EM 697, 16; Stolz WienStud. 25, 234 w. n. 1 a. lit.), *-ασσω v.t. like ὑλακτέω from ὑλάω (beside ὑλαγμός a.o.), ἀλυκτέω from ἀλύω, ἀλύσσω; on the last mentioned cases Frisk Eranos 50, 8 ff.
