editEtymology
editDissimilation of an unattested Ancient Greek *Ἐρικώδης (*Erikṓdēs), supposedly derived from ἐρείκη (ereíkē, “heath”) + -ώδης (-ṓdēs, “full of, like”). Compare Ancient Greek Φοινικώδης (Phoinikṓdēs, “Filicudi”). In ancient times also known from Latin Ericūsa (or Ericussa), from Ancient Greek Ἐρικοῦσσα (Erikoûssa). The proposed etymology from ἐρείκη (ereíkē) should have produced a long ī in the Latin borrowing transcription (*Erīcūsa), which makes the proposal not definitive. Compare Ancient Greek Ἔρυξ (Érux).
Compare, for more, also: Ancient Greek Φοινικοῦσσα (Phoinikoûssa, “Filicudi”), Πιθηκοῦσαι (Pithēkoûsai, “Pithecusa”), Συρᾱ́κουσαι (Surā́kousai, “Syracuse”) and Λοπαδοῦσσα (Lopadoûssa, “Lampedusa”).
Eventually compare also Italian Arcuri.
