ὄστρεον
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- ὄστρειον (óstreion)
Etymology
[edit]Traditionally assumed to be related to ὀστέον (ostéon, “bone”), though Beekes rejects this connection due to lack of other evidence for an Indo-European pre-form *ostr- (as well as the word category of seafood being generally unlikely to be of Indo-European origin), and instead takes the word as Pre-Greek.[1]
