ἐαρί-δρεπτος

Grammatical information: n.

Meaning: `spring' (Il.; cf Schwyzer 251).

Other forms: also ἦρος, ἦρι (Att., also Ion. and Alc.) with new nom. ἦρ (Alcm.)

Compounds: As 1. member in ἐαρί-δρεπτος `picked in spring' (Pi.), ἐαρο-τρεφής (Mosch.) etc.

Derivatives: ἐαρινός (also εἰ-, ἠ- like εἴαρος through metrical lengthening), poet. also ἠρινός `belonging to the spring' (Il.); idem ἐάρτερος (Nic. Th. 380, with contrasting - τερος, Schwyzer-Debrunner 183); ἐαρίδας τὰς κανθαρίδας H.; on the semantics Strömberg Wortstudien 13. - Denomin. verb ἐαρίζω `bloom as in spring etc.' (Pl.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1174] *u̯es-r̥ `spring'

Etymology: From γέαρ ἔαρ H. and Hom. prosody (Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 128) one concludes to Ϝέαρ, from *Ϝέσαρ, an old r-n-stem: Av. loc. vaŋri \< * vasr-i `in spring', Arm. gar-un `spring', Lith. vasar-à `summer'; OCS etc. vesn-a `spring', Skt. vasan-tá- `id.' (cf. heman-tá- `winter', s. χειμών). On the Celtic forms s. Pok 1174. - Beside IE *u̯es-r-, *u̯es-n- Lat. vēr, ONord. vār n. (o-stem). Porzig Gliederung 110f. suggests, that Lat.-Germ. *u̯ēr- was changed after the wordt for `year', IE *i̯ēr- (s. ὥρα). - With ἐαρινός cf. Lith. vasarìnis `of the summer' and Lat. vernus (like hibernus, hornus).
