φορμός
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
Unclear. The traditional connection with φέρω (phérō, “to bring”) seems difficult to combine with the varying meanings, which are all connected with the notion of "twining". Schulze therefore connected φάραι (phárai, “to weave, plait”) and φᾶρος (phâros, “piece of cloth”). Gothic 𐌱𐌰𐍂𐌼𐍃 (barms, “lap, bosom”) agrees phonetically with this word, but is also interpreted differently.
