ἄσκαρος
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editThe musical instrument was a square with strings, so it probably has nothing to do with the shoe. Furnée analyses the shoe as a suffix -αρος added to ἀσκός (askós, “skin, bag made of skin”). The similarity with ἀσκέρα (askéra, “winter shoe”) could also suggest a Pre-Greek origin of this word.
