βδέλυγμα
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
Hellenistic noun from ancient verb βδελύσσομαι (bdelússomai)/βδελύττομαι (bdelúttomai, “I am disgusted; despise”) (stem: *βδελύτj (*bdelútj)) from adjective βδελῠρός (bdelurós) from *βδελυλός (*bdelulós), which originates from the verb βδέω (bdéō, “fart”) from Proto-Indo-European *pesd- (cognates, Latin pēdō > French péter). Also see βδύλλω (bdúllō, “I am terribly afraid, I fart from fear”).
Unlike all the other cognates which were connected to the sense "fart", this noun first appears (with frequency) at the Old Testament translation in Greek, with sense "deeds or idols repugnant to God". (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)
