11 σαίρω 1
σαίρω 1.Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `to sweep, to sweep out' (S., E.), metaph. `to clear away' (BCH 29, 204; Crete).Compounds: As 1. member perh. in σαράπους (Gal.), acc. σαράποδα, σάραπον (Alc.); after D. L. 1, 81 διὰ τὸ πλατύπουν εἶναι καὶ ἐπισύρειν τὼ πόδε (cf. Bechtel Dial. 1, 125, Sommer Nominalkomp. 26 n. 4 [p. 27] a. 188); after Gal. however to σέσηρα (2. *σαίρω); the word σαραποδ- is unexplained.Derivatives: 1. σάρον n. `brushings' (Sophr., Ion Trag., Call.), `broom' (Epid. IVa a.o.) with σαρ-όομαι, - όω `to be swept out, to sweep out, to sweep clean' (Lyc., NT, Pap. a.o.), from which - ωσις f. `sweep out' (pap.), - ωμα n. `brushings' (AB a.o.), - ωται pl. m. `sweeper' (Phanagoria), - ωτρον n. `broom' (Suid.); 2. σάρματα pl. n. `brushings' (Rhinth.), σαρμός σωρὸς γῆς, καὶ κάλλυσμα... H.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Since Fick BB 5, 167 connected with σύρω `draw, drag (along)' ( σύρματα, συρφετός `brushings'); the anlaut may have been (acc. Hirt) with Bq and WP. 1, 750; 2, 530 (asking) IE tu̯-, with σαρ- and συρ- as diff. variants of a zero grade *tu̯r̥-i̯ō (cf. Schwyzer 351 f.) [rather uncertain]. An agreeing full grade present *tu̯er-ō may be found in Germ., e.g. OHG dweran `turn around quickly, stir through each other, mix'; to this nominal derivations like zero grade Lat. tur-ma `troop, squadron'. Also turba and σύρβη, τύρβη (s.v.) might belong here. Cf. also τορύνη, and ὀτραλέως. -- A connection with σὺρω is far from evident (against DELG).Page in Frisk: 2,671-672Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > σαίρω 1
