πάγουρος

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Ancient Greek

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Usually interpreted as derived from πάγος (págos, crag, rock) +‎ οὐρά (ourá, tail). However, this traditional etymology is unconvincing, like in σκίουρος (skíouros, squirrel). More probably this is a Pre-Greek word. Furnée compares also φάγρος (phágros, red porgy).
