ἀΐσσω
Ancient Greek
editAlternative forms
editEtymology
editUncertain. Perhaps cognate with Sanskrit वेविज (vevija, “quick”), यात् (yāt, “moving”), वेविज्यते (vevijyate, “to flee from”), though Beekes calls this "formally impossible" because of the long -ī-. Possibly instead related to αἰόλος (aiólos, “swift, nimble, quick”).
