θρίαμβος

See also: Θρίαμβος

Ancient Greek

The origin of the term is uncertain; most likely derived from Pre-Greek, possibly Phrygian or Illyrian. Ancient Greek θρι- (thri-) has also been connected with a term for fig tree (compare θρῖον (thrîon, “fig leaf”)). The suffix -αμβος (-ambos) is probably the same element that also occurs in ἴαμβος (íambos, “a poetic meter”), δῑθύραμβος (dīthúrambos, “hymn to Dionysus”) and might derive from Proto-Indo-European *h₃engʷ- (“to anoint”).[1]
