λοιδορέω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Taken as a formation comparable to πολιορκέω (poliorkéō), δειροτομέω (deirotoméō), οἰνοχέω (oinokhéō), but further details are unknown. It is doubtful to compare the first part with Latin lūdō (I play), λίζει (lízei, plays), as is done by Perpillou, who also adduces the gloss λίνδεσθαι (líndesthai, to contend). According to Beekes, it could be of Pre-Greek origin, like many other terms with this meaning.
