Derivatives: Denomin. verbs. ἐρίζω `fight, wrangle, quarrel' (Il.; from *ἐρί-ω enlarged? Schwyzer 735 n. 4; s. also below) with ἔρισμα `struggle' =- `object of the struggle' (Δ 38; cf. Porzig Satzinhalte 187), ἐρισμός `id.' (Timo), ἐριστικός `quarrelsome' (Pl., Arist.), ἐριστής `quarreler' (LXX Ps. 138 [139], 20; v. l.). ἐριδαίνω `id.'

Schwyzer 733 w. n. 1, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 416). ἐριδμαίνω `provoke, irritate' (Π 260), = ἐριδαίνω (hell.); after the verbs in - μ-αίνω like πημ-αίνω; Schwyzer 724.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Because of the PN Άμφ-, Άν-ήρι-τος (Bechtel Namenstud. 7; also - ιστος) ἔρις must be an orig. ι-stem; therefore not to ἐρείδω `prop, support' (Schwyzer 464 w. n. 4). Not to ὀρίνω, ἐρέθω, Έρινύς (s. vv.), for which there is no indication. Hardly to Skt. ári-, arí- m. `enemy (?) etc.'
