Origin: IE [Indo-European] [604 partly] * kleh₂-u- `lock'

Etymology: Ion. Att. κλη(Ϝ)ῑ-δ- and Dor. κλᾱ(Ϝ)ῑ-κ- are dental- resp. velar enlargements of an ῑ-stem, which can still be seen in κληΐω. (Diff. Debrunner Mus. Helv. 3, 45ff.: κληΐω backformation from κληι̃̈̈ (δ)-σαι, from κληϊ̄δ-, cf. κληϊσ-τός). Att. κλεῖν can be easily explained (with Debrunner l. c.; also Schulze Kl. Schr. 419) as analogical to κλείς ( ναῦς: ναῦν a. o.). The ῑ-stem is based on a noun *κλᾱϜ(-ο)- like e. g. κνημί̄-δ- on κνήμη, χειρί̄-δ- on χείρ (Schwyzer 465, Chantraine Formation 346f.). - An exact agreement of the basic word can be found in Lat. clāvus `nail, pin', beside which, with the same meaning as the derived κληΐς, clāvis `key, block'; because of the semantic identity a loan from Greek has been considered, cf. Ernout-Meillet s. v. and (rejecting) W.-Hofmann 1, 230. (But clātrī pl. `lattice-work' from pl. Dor. κλᾳ̃θρα). Further there is a Celtic word, e. g. OIr. clō, pl. clōi `nail' (Lat. LW [loanword]?). Slavic has a few words with an eu-diphthong, IE. *klē̆u-, e. g. OCS a. Russ. ključь `key', SCr. kljȕka `hook, ey, clamp'. - The original meaning of the word was prob. `nail, pin, hook', instruments, of old use for locking doors. - More forms in Pok. 604f., W.-Hofmann s. claudō, Fraenkel Lit. et.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [868] * h₃reu-k-? `dig up, grub'

Etymology: The general basis of all verbal forms and derived nouns is a stem ὀρυχ-; the media in ὀρυγ- is secondary (cf. Schwyzer 715 a. 760); secondary is also the present ὀρύχω (Schw. 684 f.). -- Without exact agreement outside Greek. As ὀ- can be `prothetic', we can explain the primary yot-present ὀρύσσω from *ὀρυχ-ι̯ω \< * h₃rugh- and compare the nasalinfixed secondary formation Lat. runcō, - āre `weed out, root up', to which a.o. runcō, - ōnis m. `weeding hook', as well as Latv. rūkēt `dig, scrape'; also the primary Skt. luñcati `pluck off' (with l from IE r) can belong here. To be considered further several isolated verbal nouns, esp. from Celtic, e.g. Ir. rucht (\< * ruk-tu-) `swine', pop. *"grubber"; from Alban. rrah `excavation, reclaimed land' IE * rouk-so- (Restelli Ist. Lomb. 91, 475). The aspiration, seen only in Greek, can be expressive or analogical. -- (If one separates the velar as a formative element, we can compare οὑροί m. pl. `trench' (s.v.), ὅρος `boundary' ('-furrow'?), the instrument name ὀρυα, poss. also ὀρύα f. `intestine', prop. *"hole"?).

Meaning: 1. Thessalian, son of Myrmidon or Triopas, because of his destruction of a wood sacred to Demeter punished by the goddess with an unsatiable hunger (Hellanik. ap. Ath. 416b, Call. Cer. 33ff.); by Strat. Com. 1, 19 (Ath. 382d) used as a travesty as name of an animal, prob. a swine (an ox?), because of his voracity or his destructive disposition. 2. Athenian, son of Kekrops and Agraulos (Pl. Kriti. 111a).

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

Etymology: For the formation cf. ἐρυσί-πτολις `town protecting' (Ζ 305 a. e.). A later time, that wanted to connect the name better with the deeds of its owner, changed it to, connecting ἐρύω `draw, pull', "earth-puller", a name, that does not fit well with the destruction of the wood; Έρυσίχθων is then described by Lykophr. 1396 as γατομῶν. - Schulze Q. 318 (s. also KZ 55, 112 n. 2) took ἐρυσίχθων as "grub the earth" and connected Lat. ruō `grub', OCS rъvǫ `pull out' etc. (Pok. 868); cf also ῥυτοῖσι λάεσσι [Od.], which belongs rather to ἐρύω `draw'; s. v.); this would not fit the place in Straton. - Cf. v. Wilamowitz Hellen. Dichtung 2, 40f. No doubt a Pre-Greek name that has nothing to do with χθών.
