22 στράγξ
στράγξ, - γγόςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `squeezed out drop[ pouring out]' (Arist., Thphr., Men., AP a. o.).Derivatives: Beside it στραγγ-ός (also - γ-) `flowing drop by drop', also `tied together, entangled, by shocks, irregular' (medic. a.o.), - εῖον n. `drop-bottle' (medic.). - ίας ( πυρός) `kind of wheat' (Thphr.; cf. Strömberg Theophrastea 91). As 1. element in the compound στραγγ-ουρ-ία, Ion. - ίη f. = ἡ κατὰ στράγγα οὔρησις (Gal.), `strangury' (Hp., Att., hell. a. late) with - ικός, - ιώδης, - ιάω, - έω. Denominatives 1. στραγγ-ίζω, also w. κατα-, ἐκ-, ἀπο-, `to squeeze out drop by drop' (LXX, Dsc. a.o.); 2. - εύομαι (auch - γ-) `to hesitate, to linger, to dawdle' (Ar., Pl. hell. a. late; on the meaning below) with - εία f. `hesitation' (M. Ant.). -- With λ-sufflx: στραγγάλη f. `cord, rope, noose' (J., Plu., S. E.) wit - αλίς f. `entangled knot, induration' (com. Va, Arist. a.o.), - αλιά f. `id.' (LXX etc.; Scheller Oxytonierung 88), - αλιώδης `knotty, entangled' (LXX, Com. Adesp.), - αλάω `to choke, to strangle' (Men., LXX), - αλίζω, also w. ἀπο-, `id.' (D. S., Str. etc.), - αλισμός (gloss.), - αλόομαι `to become entangled, ensnared' (Ph. Bel. a.o.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: With στράγξ cf. στρίγξ, λύγξ, κλαγγ-ί a.o.; στραγγ-άλη as σκυτ-άλη etc. -- Of στράγξ a. cogn. remind strongly of several words from other languages: Lat. stringō `string, tie together', if from * strengō with analog. i in strictus, Latv. stringu, stringt (zero grade) `become stiff', also `wither' (from `shrivel, contract'), MIr. srengim `draw, drag', NIr. sreang `strand, strick', Germ., e.g. OHG strang, OWNo. strengr (from * strang-i-) `id.', OWNo. strangr, OS strang, OHG strengi `stretched, stiff, unbendible, streng etc.' with Norw. strengja `draw stiff', NHG anstrengen etc., IE * streng(h)-, strong(h)-. But then στραγγ- must stand either as zero grade for στραγ- (= Latv. stringt; in στραγ-ός, - εύομαι beside στραγγ- still retained?) or have got the α-vowel secondarily, which would not surprise with the orig. popular character of this word group. As orig. meaning of this family we must posit `string, tie together', which had in Greek a quite special development. Thus the drop, στράγξ, as "which strings, ties together," resp. "which is strung togethet" (as opposed to free running liquidity) interpreted; cf. σύστρεμμα also `round drop of water'. (Prop. from washing? Thierfelder by letter.) The meaning `linger, hesitate' in στραγ-γεύομαι can be explained both from `draw together, congeal' as from `run by drops (= slowly)'. -- Further forms and combinations a. lit. in WP. 2, 650f., Pok. 1036f., W.-Hofmann s. stringō. Lat. LW [loanword] strangūria, strangulō. Cf. στρογγύλος. -- The word is no doubt Pre-Greek (cf. the variant without nasal, and the a-vocalism).Page in Frisk: 2,804-805Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > στράγξ
