δορκάς
Ancient Greek
editAlternative forms
editEtymology
editUncertain. Compare Cornish yorch, Welsh iwrch, which leads to a Proto-Indo-European *yorkos (“roe deer”). However, the δ is unexplained, except perhaps by connection with δέρκομαι (dérkomai, “I see clearly”). Has traditionally been explained as a simple derivative of δέρκομαι (dérkomai), because of their bright eyes.
