Grammatical information: m.Meaning: scornful or ignominious qualification, by the goat-herd Melanthos and the beggar Iros referred to the unknown Odysseus (ρ 219, σ 26; after this Lyc. 775); also of the head ( κεφαλή) of a plant in unknown meaning (Nic. Th. 662).Derivatives: μολόβρ-ιον n. `the young of a swine' (Ael.), - ίτης ὗς `ds.' (Hippon.). -- PN Μόλοβρος m. (Th. 4, 8, 9; Lacon.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Popular word, because of the uncertain meaning hard to assess. Several proposals of doubtful value from old and new times: ἀπὸ τοῦ μολεῖν καὶ παραγίνεσθαι πρὸς βορὰν καὶ τροφήν (sch. Lyc. 775); from μέλας, μολύνω and τὰ ὄβρια, ὀβρίκαλα `the young of animals' (Curtius 370); to βλιβρόν λαγρόν H. and βλάβη (Fick BB 28, 97; agreeing Bechtel Lex. s.v. and Hist. Personennamen 502); from *μολός `runner, shoot' (cf. μολεύω) and βορά (Grošelj Živa Ant. 2, 212f.); s. also Reynen Herm. 85, 142 w. n. 2. - Neumann HS 105(1992) 75-80 derives it form *μολος, Skt. málam `dirt' (from * melo- or * molHo-) and the root * gʷrh₃- `eat' in βιβρώσκω; but -*gʷr̥Ho- would have given *-βαρο-.
