(E., Poll.; prob. after ἁλιευ-τικός; cf.

PlN, e.g. Πορφυρ- ίς, - εών.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Whether πορφύρα orig. indicated the purple-colour or the purple-snail, may remain open; for the priority of the first speaks decidedly the date of the attestations. Because of the technical nature of the word a loan from a Mediterranean language is clearly most probable (Schrader-Nehring Reallex. 2, 207), though up to now no convincing connection has been found (to be rejected Lewy Fremdw. 128). Old connection with πορφύρω (Curtius 303 w. lit.) does not convince factually, but secondary mutual inflence is undeniable.
