[edit]Etymology
[edit]Looking at ὀαρίζω (oarízō, “to converse, chat with”), it is thought that this word originally meant "confidential intercourse", whence "confidential company, wife". A good etymology has not been found. According to Beekes, perhaps from Pre-Greek. Maybe from *h₁ós-r̥ "female", whence also feminine numeral *tisr-, according to Kim.[1]
