Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Unexplained. Compared with ἰαίνω, Brugmann Grundr. 2¹, 1086 (= 2²: 3, 199) proposes: ἰῶμαι \< *isā-i̯o-mai beside ἰαίνω = Skt. iṣaṇ-yá-ti like δρῶ \< *drā-i̯ō beside δραίνω (but δραίνω is rather an innovation, s. on δράω. Schwyzer 681 a. 683 explains ἰάομαι as thematic tansformation of an athematic *ἴᾰ-μαι (in Ία-μενόν Μ 139, 193 and in Cypr. ἰϳασθαι?); but such a form can hardly be IE. Diff. Wißmann Nom. postv. 1, 127 n. 1: ἰάομαι deverbative. - Doubts on the connection with ἰαίνω in Schulze Q. 381f.; wrong Ehrlich Betonung 136 (to Lat. sānus) and Theander Eranos 20, 33 (from ἰά).
