ψωλή
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
According to Beekes, related to the same root as ψάω (psáō, “to rub, wipe”), ψωμός (psōmós, “morsel, bit”), ψωλός (psōlós, “with the foreskin drawn back; circumcised”), ψώρα (psṓra, “mange”) and ψωχός (psōkhós, “sandy”). According to Beekes, inherited explanations must be given up; the group of words is probably Pre-Greek, especially given the coexistence of ψαίω (psaíō), ψαύω (psaúō) and ψίω (psíō); perhaps loaned from another Indo-European language and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to cover, wrap; skin, hide; cloth”).
