αἰγίς
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editEither from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eyg- (“to stir, set in motion”) or from αἴξ (aíx, “goat”), as in a goat-skin shield. Has also been connected to ἀΐσσω (aḯssō, “to move violently”) and Sanskrit एजति (éjati, “to tremble, shake”). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. so which of these is likeliest? some recent scholarly opinions would be nice. to me it looks like different words with multiple etymologies converged and are being conflated, but idk, and no time to check now
