ἀπάτη
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Of unclear origin. Beekes rejects Pederson's derivation from Proto-Indo-European *pent- (“to pass; path”) and tentatively derives the word from Pre-Greek, in view of semantically similar words like ἠπεροπεύς (ēperopeús, “cheat, deceiver”) and ἀπαφίσκω (apaphískō, “to cheat, beguile”), which appear related to ἀπάτη (apátē) but which are difficult to reconcile with Indo-European morphological processes.[1]
