Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]The formation is similar to λαγαρός (lagarós), πλαδαρός (pladarós) and χαλαρός (khalarós). A basic primary verb may have been retained in ἔλαψα (élapsa, “weakened, destroyed”). It is usually assumed that λαπάσσω (lapássō) is an extension of this, perhaps after μαλάσσω (malássō, “to make soft”). In the sense to destroy, λαπάσσω (lapássō) agrees with ἀλαπάζω (alapázō, “to destroy”), suggesting a Pre-Greek origin in view of the prothetic vowel. Close to Albanian laps.
