θρόμβος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Compared with Icelandic drambr (“knag, knot”), however a direct connection is impossible. The same holds with Lithuanian dramblys (“elephant”) and Latvian dramblis (“glutton”). Can also be compared with Albanian grumbull (“heap, pile”). Within Greek, the word is generally compared with τρέφω (tréphō, “to curdle”): since this verb does not have a convincing Indo-European etymology, the present word would be of Pre-Greek origin too.
