2 ἀφήτωρ
ἀφήτωρ, - οροςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: epithet of Apollo (I 404). ἀφητορεία μαντεία H. σαφητωρ· μάντις ἀληθής, μηνὺτης, ἐρμηνεὺς H.Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: Acc. to Eustathios and the scholl. (also) explained as `prophet' (Eust. ὁμοφήτωρ), i.e. from α copulative and φημί, which is no doubt wrong. Rather from ἀφίημι, s. Fraenkel, Nom. ag. 1, 14f., 42, i.e. `who sends off'. This could well mean `archer' ( ἀφὶημι `discharge'). Doubted by Kraus, WienAkAnz. 87, 516ff., who suggests `who sends off' (people on their journey).Page in Frisk: 1,195Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > ἀφήτωρ
