θρῴσκω

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

  • θρώσκω (thrṓskō)

Etymology

The only plausible comparison is found in Old Irish dairid (to leap upon), together with the noun der (young girl). The ablaut pattern is identical to that of βλώσκω (blṓskō, to go or come). The root is Proto-Indo-European *dʰerh₃- (to leap, spring), the same of θορός (thorós, semen, sperm) and θόρνῡμαι (thórnūmai, to mount, impregnate).
