ὄρρ-

ὀῤῥ-ώδης, ες, molkenartig

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to shudder, to fear, to dread' (Att.),

Other forms: Ion. ἀρρωδέω (Hp., Hdt.).

Compounds: Aslo w. prefix, esp. κατ-.

Derivatives: ὀρρωδία, ἀρρωδίη f. `fear, dread' (Hdt., Th., E.).

Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]X [probably]

Etymology: Not certainly explained. Semantically attractive is the proposal by Bréal MSL 8, 309 (agreeing Lasso de la Vega Emer. 23, 121 f.): ὀρρωδέω from ὄρρος through *ὀρρώδης `afraid, anxious' like Fr. couard, It. codardo from Lat. coda. But one has to assume then that the Att. form came into Ionic with transition of ὀρρ- into ἀρρ- (after ἀρρωστέω. - ία?), what cannot be easily argued. After J. Schmidt KZ 25, 112; 32, 170 Att. ὀρρ- stands for older ἀρρ- through assimilation to the folowing ω (cf. Schwyzer 255); possible is also folketym. influence of ὄρρος. Vain attempys by Prellwitz BB 24, 217, Solmsen IF 13, 134ff., Ehrlich Betonung 54 (s. Bq s.v. a. p. 717 n. 1; also WP. 1, 278 a. 292). - Taillardat, RPh. 71(1997) 170, defends the old interpretation as τὸν ὄρρον ἱδροῦν; the α- would be due to Ionic dissimilation of ο-ω. - Furnée 342 thinks that the word is Pre-Greek, which explains the variation ἀ-\/ὀ-.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: As the Aeol. variation ὠρ-, ὀρ- prob. represents a geminated ὀρρ- (Wackernagel Unt. 136 n. 1), the basis will have been *(Ϝ)ορσανός with accent as ὀρφανός and so perh. from a noun *(Ϝ)ορσό- = Skt. varṣá- n. m. `rain' (cf. Wackernagel KZ 29, 129 = Kl. Schr. 1,632). As e.g. ὄχανον, ξόανον can go back to ἔχω, ξέω, οὑρανός can as nom. ag. belong to a primary verb *Ϝερσ- = Skt. várṣati `rain'; it can however also be derived from the iterative οὑρέω (s. v.), like Indo-Ir. nouns in - ana are connected with second. verbs in - ayati ( = Gr. - έω, Wack.-Debrunner II: 2, 198ff.); meaning then "rainmaker" or metaph. "moistener, impregnator" (Wackernagel l.c.; cf. ἕρση). -- After Specht KZ 66, 199ff. (with Schulze), Fraenkel (s.Wb. s. viršùs) a.o. as "der zur Höhe in Beziehung stehende" to Skt. varṣman- m. n. `hight', Lith. viršùs `upper, highest seat', to which one connected also Ἔρρος ὁ Ζεύς H. (IE *u̯er-s- WP. 1, 267, Pok. 1151f.?); neither factually nor formally to be preferred. It has also been suggested that the word is of foreign, i.e. Pre-Greek, origin (DELG); note that - αν- is difficult to account for if the word were of IE origin. -- Against the old, often repeated but certainly wrong identification with the Skt. gods name Varuṇaḥ s. except Wackernagel l.c. also Thieme Mitra and Aryaman (Trans. Connecticut Acad. 41 [1957]) 60.
