κομμόω
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Of uncertain origin. Unconvincing attempts have been made to link the word to similar words such as κόσμος (kósmos, “order; mode, fashion”) and κομψός (kompsós, “refined, elegant; clever”). Solmsen's derivation from an earlier *κομώ (*komṓ), from κομέω (koméō, “to take care of, tend to”), as well as Bailly's connection to κόπτω (kóptō, “to strike, cut”),[1] are rather tenuous. In view of the word's culture-based semantic category and lack of solid internal derivation, Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek borrowing.[2]
