1 θρόμβος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `clump, curd, esp. of blood' (IA).Derivatives: θρομβίον (Dsc.), θρομβήϊον (Nic.), θρομβώδης `full of clumps' (IA), θρομβόομαι `form θ., congeal' with θρόμβωσις `curdling, thrombosis' (medic.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: With θρόμβος agrees NIcel. drambr m. `knag, knot', IE *dhrómbhos if one assumes deaspiration after nasal in Greek (Schwyzer 333) but this did not occur ( ἀμφι; cf. on θάμβος), Porzig Satzinhalte 256, 316. A direct connection is however "höchst fraglich" (Frisk), as drambr belongs to an expressive Nordic wordgroup (e.g, OWNo. trē-drumbr m. `stump of a tree', dramb n. `resplendent presumption' a. o.). Baltic too has several comparable words, which are however semantically deviant, as Lith. dramblỹs, dremblỹs `fat belly', Latv. dram̃blis `glutton', s. Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. drìbti. - Inside Geek one generally connects θρόμβος with τρέφειν as `make congeal', med. τρέφεσθαι, aor. 2 τραφεῖν `congeal'; θρόμβος then "curdled mass". The verb however in Greek got the special meaning `make thick, feed' and has its proper development (s. v.) - So there is no convincing IE etymology, and the word will rather be of Pre-Greek origin (undecided Fur. 274); note that - μβ- cannot represent - mbh- (Schwyzer is unconvincing, cf. ἀμφί, ὀμφαλός).Page in Frisk: 1,685-686Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > θρόμβος
