Origin: IE [Indo-European] [592] *ḱeuh₂- `swell, strong'

Etymology: Like e.g. ἄν-υδρ-ος `without water' is based on ὕδωρ, ἄ-κῡρ-ος `without authority' supposes an r-stem, which is also seen in κύρ-ιος. Beside κύρ-ιος there may have been an ο-deriv. *κῦρ-ος, which would agree with Skt. śū́ra-, Av. sūra- `hero'; cf. the Skt. words for `sun', sū́r-ya- and sū́r-a- from súvar- n. (old l-stem, s. on ἥλιος). Cf. Schwyzer 727 n. 2; slightly different Wackernagel Syntax 2, 61 n. 1. From *κῦρος m. perhaps also κυρωθῆναι, κυρόω; but κυρ-ωθῆναι can be derived directly from the r-stem ( ἀνδρ-ωθῆναι: ἀνήρ). A trace of this r-stem shows ἔγ-κυαρ `pregnant' (Milet, VI<sup>a</sup>), from *κύαρ `foetus' (Kretschmer Glotta 8, 250). Other derivations: Skt. śávīra- `strong, powerful' (*ḱeuh₂-ro-), Celt., e.g. Gaul. Καυαρος, Welsh cawr `giant'; (uncertain Κυάρη ἡ Άθηνᾶ H.) - Further s. on κυέω.
