χόνδρος
See also: χονδρός
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
Maybe with dissimilatory elision from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrendʰ- (“to grind, crush”) (see *gʰer-), the same root of Proto-Germanic *grindaną (“to grind”) and Latin frendō (“I gnash”), + -ρος (-ros). However, Beekes finds this proposal unconvincing.
