κῶνος
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *ḱóh₃nos, from the root *ḱeh₃- (“to sharpen”), like Sanskrit शाण (śāṇa, “whetstone”), Latin cōs (“whetstone”) and Latin catus (“clever, sharp”). Schwyzer, however, considered foreign origin; this is confirmed by the variant adduced by Furnée, who suggests a Pre-Greek origin.
