αἶσχος
See also: αίσχος
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editThe older comparison with Gothic 𐌰𐌹𐍅𐌹𐍃𐌺𐌹 (aiwiski, “shame”) is generally abandoned in view of obvious formal difficulties. De Lamberterie plausibly compares αἰδέομαι (aidéomai, “to be ashamed”), positing *aid-sk- for Greek, next to *aid-st- in Gothic 𐌰𐌹𐍃𐍄𐌰𐌽 (aistan, “to have regard for”). Furnée connects the word with Georgian ურცხვი (urcxvi, “shameless”), მორცხვი (morcxvi, “shy, coy”) and სირცხვილი (sircxvili, “shame, blemish”).
