σπολάς
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editPerhaps from a verb for "split, tear off", in which case it may be related to σπόλια (spólia, “wool plucked off the leg of sheep”), ἄσπαλον (áspalon, “skin, hide”), but hardly to Thessalian σπόλος (spólos, “pole”). From other languages: Latin spolium (“arms, spoils”), Lithuanian spālis (“beard, part of the stalk of flax”) and German spalten (“to cleave”), all reflecting a root *spel(H)- (“what is split, stripped off”). The word may also reflect the Pre-Greek root that is also seen in ἄσπαλον (áspalon, “mole”).
