τρύω

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Ancient Greek

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From a zero-grade of Proto-Indo-European *trewH- (to rub), and cognate with Proto-Slavic *tryti (idem), Lithuanian trūnė́ti (to spoil, putrefy, deacay).[1] The root is often taken as an extension of the more traditionally-reconstructed Proto-Indo-European *terh₁- (to rub, pierce), though this appears uncertain.
