θάμβος
See also: θαμβός
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editOften connected to such forms as θαῦμα (thaûma, “wonder, marvel”), θώψ (thṓps, “flatterer, false friend”), τάφος (táphos, “amazement”) and τέθηπα (téthēpa, “to be astonished”), and referred to Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₂-. Beekes claims all are borrowed from non-Indo-European Pre-Greek.
