ψωμός

Ancient Greek edit

Etymology edit

Traditionally compared to Sanskrit प्साति (psāti, “to eat, consume”). However, Beekes argues for a Pre-Greek origin, together with ψάω (psáō, “to rub, wipe”), ψωλός (psōlós, “circumcized”), ψώρα (psṓra, “mange”), ψωρός (psōrós, “itchy, scabby”) and ψωχός (psōkhós, “sandy”).
