ἐρῳδιός
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- ἀρῳδιός (arōidiós), ῥῳδιός (rhōidiós)
Etymology
The ending is similar to other bird names, like αἰγυπιός (aigupiós), αἰγωλιός (aigōliós) and χαραδριός (kharadriós). The resemblance with Latin ardea (“heron”) and Serbo-Croatian róda (“stork”) cannot be coincidental. According to Beekes, the word could be of Pre-Greek origin because of the variants.
