τιτρώσκω

Etymology

[edit]

Traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-European *terh₃- (to hurt), with inchoative suffix -σκω (-skō).[1] However, Beekes is skeptical of the existence of such a root, based on the appurtenance of τραῦμα (traûma, wound) suggesting a variation in αυ (au)-ω (ō) which is difficult to explain in Indo-European terms, and prefers a Pre-Greek origin.[2]
