ἐρῳδιός
Ancient Greek edit
Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
The ending is similar to other bird names, like αἰγυπιός (aigupiós), αἰγωλιός (aigōliós) and χαραδριός (kharadriós). The resemblance with Latin ardea (“heron”) and Serbo-Croatian róda (“stork”) cannot be coincidental. According to Beekes, the word could be of Pre-Greek origin because of the variants.
