λάπαθον
Ancient Greek
editAlternative forms
edit- λάπαθος (lápathos)
Etymology
editThe connection with λάπαθα (lápatha, “faeces”) recalls λαπάσσω (lapássō, “to empty the bowels”). Because of the formation, foreign origin is suspected. Put as possibly from Pre-Greek by Beekes; likely from a Balkan source, see Proto-Slavic *loboda (“orach”) for farther relations.
