Greek
editAlternative forms
edit- φράσσω (frásso) (formal)
Etymology
editInherited from Byzantine Greek φράζω (phrázō) from Ancient Greek φράσσω (phrássō) or φράττω (phráttō) from past tense ‑αξα to present ‑άζω, in the pattern of στάζω (stázō), ἔσταξα (éstaxa, “I dripped”).
Unrelated to the ancient φράζω (phrázō, “tell, explain”). Stems φρακ-, φραγ- unrelated to φρακάρω (frakáro) or φράξια (fráxia) (see Related terms).[1]
