ἀμυδρός

See also: αμυδρός

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Unknown. Ancient Greek ἀμαυρός (amaurós, “dark”) is close in meaning and form, but the two cannot be combined in Indo-European terms. Influence of φαιδρός (phaidrós, “bright, beaming”) has been proposed, but such contaminations are often rather gratuitous. In principle, ἀμυδ- may continue an Indo-European root *h₂mud-. The Slavic root Proto-Slavic *mъd- (“weakness”) cannot continue *h₂mud- in view of Winter's Law (so it is from *mudʰ-).
