ἑλίχρυσος

Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: plant name, `Heliochrysum siculum, Immortelle' (Alcm., Ibyk.); also ἑλειόχρυσος (Thphr.).

Other forms: also - ον n. (s. on βούτυρον)

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: From the gold-yellow flower (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 25). Like e. g. ἑλειοσέλινον also ἑλειόχρυσος is a compound of ἕλειος χρυσός (to ἕλος?) understandable, after the compp. with ἀγρι(ο)-, e. g. ἀγρι-έλαιος = ἄγριος ἔλαιος (see Risch IF 59, 257). In ἑλι- a further shortening after ἄγρι-, αἰγι-, καλλι- etc. Strömberg 153 thinks it is a loan. The locus in Alcman (16) has no digamma; cf. Solmsen Unt. 146. The variant ἑλειό- is considered by DELG as a fault or a `étymologie populaire déraisonnable', which makes it possible that it is a Pre-Greek word.
