ἐρύω

Ancient Greek

Etymology 1

Possibly Proto-Indo-European *h₁rewH- (“to tear, dig, burrow, gather”) (Latin rudens (“ship's sail”)), or related to ῥυμός (rhumós, “pole”), ῥυμουλκέω (rhumoulkéō, “to pull a towing rope”). Per LIV, from Proto-Indo-European *wer- (“to hold back, ward off”), compare Proto-Germanic *warjaną (“to ward off; to thwart, to stop”).
