Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `axe for working wood, chip-axe' (Od., S. Fr. 797, hell. a. late), metaph. as des. of a chirurgical bandage (Hp.).Other forms: - ον n.Compounds: As 2. member a.o. in ἀμφι-σκέπαρνος `smoothened on both sides' (Miletos, Didyma).Derivatives: σκεπάρν-ιον n. `pillar' (Didyma IIa), - ηδόν adv. `like a kind of σ.-bandage' (Hp.), - ίζω `to work with a σ.' (Hero), with ( ἀπο-)-ισμός m. (medic.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (S)Etymology: An IE etymology can be constructed, if one accepts a combination of ρ- and ν-suffixes (Solmsen Wortforsch. 210; cf. Bechtel Lex. s. v. and Specht Ursprung 350) and connects a in Balto-Slavic widely represented group of words, e.g. Russ. ščepátь `split, crumble, diminish', Latv. šk̨ẽpele `split off piece, sherd'. To this are also to be connected the words discussed under κόπτω and σκάπτω; s. vv. w. lit.; to this Vasmer s. ščepá and Fraenkel s. skẽpeta. To avoid the anyhow awkward ρν-suffix, Niedermann IF 37, 149 f. assumes a metathesis from *σκέρπανος, to IE sker-p- in NHG Scherbe, schürfen etc. etc. (cf. κρώπιον and σκορπίος w. lit.); a hypotetical supposition. So like many other instrument names a LW [loanword] (Schwyzer 491 w. lit.)? -- To be rejected Güntert Reimwortbild. 128. -- No doubt a Pre-Greek word.Page in Frisk: 2,724Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σκέπαρνος
