σκυδμαίνω

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Ancient Greek

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From the same root as σκύζομαι (skúzomai, to be angry) and σκυθρός (skuthrós, angry, sullen), with further origin uncertain. Beekes rejects the traditional comparison with Lithuanian skùsti (to become nervous, tired) (see also skaudė́ti (to hurt)) and Latvian skundêt (to grumble, grudge), as their accentuation points to *-dʰ- in the Proto-Indo-European form, which cannot produce the Greek term.[1]
